LOSCON XXVI is OVER. This way to find the next Loscon.

[rad]   WELCOME TO THE LOSCON XXVI SITE

It's the end of the world as we know it... but we feel fine!

It's going to be a great weekend. Make sure to join us on November 26-28, 1999 at the Hilton Burbank Airport for a great time... lots of guests, lots of panels, dealers, artists, dances, parties, and so much more!!


We have two exciting things to tell you! First, through a special arrangement, Loscon XXVI is very pleased to be able to show all eighteen episodes of Farscape! We can't show you the four episodes that haven't aired yet...but we've got the rest! Look on the Schedule page for the exact times. Also, we're happy to let you know that both Peter Woodward and Carrie Dobro from Crusade are going to come to Loscon - again, check the Schedule page for details.


Another Hotel Update


No, we're not sold out, and yes the room rate is still $86.00. We are still having some problems with the 800 reservation number telling our members the correct information! The hotel is aware of the problem, and trying their best to handle it. If you are still experiencing trouble, please email us right away, and we will get it fixed! Thanks for your patience.


Registration Hours at the con will be:

Thursday (pre-reg only) - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Friday - 9:30am to 7:30pm
Saturday - 9:30am to 7:00pm

[rad]   HOTEL INFO: THE HILTON BURBANK AIRPORT

Loscon is pleased to use the Hilton Burbank Airport as its facilities, as we have done every Loscon since 1993!

The Hilton Burbank Airport (formerly the Burbank Airport Hilton... the name changed for reasons unknown) is a wonderful complex located across from the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, the primary commercial airport of the northern Los Angeles metropolitan area. The hotel is located at 2500 North Hollywood Way, Burbank. Telephone number is 818-843-6000.

All rooms are equipped with standard amenities, coffee makers and so forth. The Burbank Hilton has both single to quad rooms as well as parlors and full suites. The Hilton also has a full convention center, a separate building adjacent to the east, where much of Loscon takes place. The restaurant has been completed re-done and finished, and is The Daily Grill, a full-service eatery.

Loscon XXVI's room rate is $86.00 for single, double, triple or quad. This rate is good for the entire weekend! The hotel has begun to accept reservations - make sure that you tell them you are with Loscon XXVI to ensure that you get the correct rate. You may make your reservation either by calling the hotel direct at 818-843-6000, calling the Hilton Reservation number at 800-445-8667, or, if you are already a member of Loscon XXVI, returning your hotel card which will be mailed with both Progress Report II and Progress Report III. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us.

We will be holding a raffle for a hotel upgrade to a suite from all the people who make their room reservations by November 10th - so make sure to send in those hotel cards or make those reservation phone calls!

Book your room early! Loscon has sold out our tower two years in a row, and we want to make sure everyone gets a room! If you are planning on having an "open" party in your room, please let us know by emailing us so we can put you on our designated party floors.

Also, we're very excited to announce that Loscon XXVI will be running films on our own television channel in the hotel! Check out Channel 49 on your room's television to see our very own Suicide Film Festival - right in your own room! (Read more about this here.)
