Programming:
This year our programming we hope will be as good and diverse as ever. We will be running two tracks of panels, along with workshops, and readings. Some of the ideas that we have for panels include: Religions in the future, Fun, fun, fun, on the infobahn, The history of fandom, Archeology in science fiction, New ideas in fantasy, Gender in science fiction, Suffering for your art, and a lot of what we think will be thought provoking as well as fun. If you would like to participate or have ideas for panels contact: Programming at Astronomicon dot info
Grand Great Lakes Steampunk Cotillion, Symposium and Tea Social:
This year our meet the pros event will have a Steampunk theme. A few of us were in Toronto, talking about how steampunk is becoming a growing part of fandom. So a few of us decided that maybe we should start the first Frand Grand Great Lakes Steampunk Cotillion, Symposium, and Tea Social. If you want to know what STEAMPUNK is there is a link . But think of Victorian Endland for styles of dress. And if you've seen Stardust, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, The Wild, Wild West, Steamboy, Metropolis, and Brisco County Jr. then you know the peroid we're shooting for. Come in costume or just hang out and hob-nob with our guests. There will be light refreshments, tea, veggies, cheeses music and just a great time.

Since we are the day after Halloween, don’t put away that costume! The masquerade will be held this year in the Gleason Room The masquerade will be held Saturday evening. You can register to be in the masquerade at the registration desk. Costumes of all kinds will be welcome. This year we will have prizes for the best costumes at the convention.
As always, it is hard to come up with videos or dvd's that people havent seen. So to be different, we will be hosting a Fan Film Room. We will scour the world of Fan Films to come up with an eclectic selection of some of the best films that you fen produce. If you have a film that you would like to submit you can contact us at: FanFilms at Astronomicon dot info
Anime Room
As with our video room, the anime room was one of our more popular rooms last year. With videos like "Battle Angel", "Ninja Scroll", and "Sorcerer Hunters" you can see why it was so popular. This year we plan on having as good if not better selection of anime for you to see. To contact us with ideas for anime: Anime at Astronomicon dot info
