To misquote Field Marshall von Moltke, no convention program survives contact with the public. We have a few updates. The schedule pages have been changed. For the record, here’s what’s different.
Friday 10:00 AM Who, What or Why Done It — Danel Paul Olson will moderate
Friday 10:00 AM Writing Human Characters, Whether or Not They’re Human — Laurel Anne Hill added
Friday 11:00 AM Poetry of the Fantastic — Stephen Wilson removed
Friday 3:00 PM The Role of the Raven — Kerrie Hughes added
Friday 5:00 PM The Last Resort — Alan DeNiro added

We have just been handed what we hope is the near final program schedule. Please note that all program items are subject to last minute changes due to factors beyond our (and the participants’) control. We will endeavor to keep these pages updated, and will post any changes to this blog. Also our apologies for the fairly plain formatting. We know that a number of you have been waiting patiently for this information so we got it up as quickly as we could. Something more elegant will hopefully follow later. In the meantime, here are some schedules.

There are still tickets available for the WFC Banquet on Sunday at 1 PM. Tickets are $75 each (or $750 for a table of ten). We hope to see many of you at Sunday afternoon’s banquet, which will be immediately followed by the World Fantasy Awards Ceremony.
You can check to see whether you bought a ticket on the Membership List page. If there is a * by your name, our records show that you bought at least one ticket.

Posted in Banquet | Comments Off on Banquet Menu Details
We have some more details on the banquet menu available here.
We are very happy to try to cater for allergy and dietary restrictions. However, the hotel has asked that we let them know about such requirements by Friday, October 16 so that they have time to plan meals and order ingredients. Write to banquet [@] worldfantasy2009.org if you have any such requirements.

Tickets for the 2009 World Fantasy Awards Banquet are now on sale. There will be a choice of a beef, chicken, or vegetarian menu. Banquet tickets are $75 per person or $750 for a table of ten. You must be a member of the convention to purchase banquet tickets, and every person holding a ticket must be a member of the convention. For example, you could buy several tickets on your membership and give the tickets to other people, but those people would have to also be members of the convention in order to attend the banquet.
You can purchase tickets online on the membership registration page (scroll down to “Purchase add-ons” section if you already have a membership), or by mail. Details and further explanation are on the Banquets page.
Please note that in Progress Report 1, the e-mail address listed for questions and information about the banquet is wrong. the correct address is banquet@worldfantasy2009.org.
