      I have now placed a preliminary schedule of event times and locations on the programming and events page. The times, of course, are subject to change, but with any luck, these are final.
      Just a reminder... Pre-reg is now CLOSED. At the door registration is your only remaining option now. 3 day passes are $40 and 1 day passes are $25.
      Unfortunately, due to the current wartime situation that our whole country finds itself in, our Japanese guests (who we never even got a chance to announce) had to cancel their plans to come to our convention, at the request of their respective companies. We certainly understand their safety concerns, and hope that the situation is much improved next year.

      Just a few updates to various parts of the web page today. The recent terrorist events have made things much more difficult for us, so we're still working on nailing down our final roster of guests. Please stay tuned!
      Also, keep in mind that the final pre-registration date is just a few days away! You need to get your pre-registration info and money in the mail to us by October 19th (That's this friday!). Why pay full price at the door when you can save money now?

      A new look and some great new news! The Vendor's Area has been completely SOLD OUT! Things are still charging forward and the con is just 2 months away! Look for more news about additional guests soon as well! We're working hard to bring you the best convention possible!
      Also, if you're going to be attending AWA 7 later this month, be sure to stop by our booth and say "Hi!" and, while you're at it, please buy one of our cool new T-shirts!

      We have a date, we have a hotel, and we even have some guests! Sugoi Con 2001 will happen November 9 - 11 and we will be back at the lovely Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport again. We are also happy to announce that we've received confirmations from a couple of our returning guests! Sugoi Con welcomes back Robert DeJesus and Scott Frazier.
