Our Story
In December 1975, the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society presented LA 2000, a special convention to celebrate the club's 2,000th meeting. The event was so enjoyable that it was repeated in 1976. At this time it moved to October to honor the club's anniversary, and called itself Loscon for the first time. It was held twice in 1977, the second that year being the first with an official Guest of Honor, Dr. Jerry Pournelle. By 1978, it had finally settled into an annual November affair, the Los Angeles Regional Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. Then, starting with Loscon 9 in 1982, the Thanksgiving weekend was chosen and became subsequently the traditional date.
Our Guests of Honor this year are:
Professional Writer Guest of Honor: Howard Waldrop
Fan Guest of Honor: Edie Stern

Foiled Notebooks are up for sale! We'll be debuting these in person at the upcoming Loscon 47 convention, but the online store we've been creating should have them ready now if anyone wants to grab one early!
These are currently "while supplies last" as we don't yet know if we'll be making more. So get them while you can!
On that note though, the store is maybe a bit freshly painted (so to speak) So please let us know if you encounter any issues!

Hello, by chance is anyone not going to attend and giving up their room at LAX Marriott at the room-block rate?
If so, please DM me. I missed the deadline for room-block rate for a few days, and the normal rate is 4 nights at $280+/night.
Thanks

The planet Saturn, its moon Titan and the Earth are represented, as was the Cassini spacecraft and its Huygens probe. There were feathers representing the Golden Eagle, whose feathers were used as quills for writing to spread wisdom and the bird often revered in mythology for carrying spirits above the Earth to the heavens. My name was among the signatures. In 2019, I had the pleasure of dining with the NASA/JPL engineer who issued the command to send Cassini into its final decent. Naturally, I mentioned that my signature was on board the spacecraft's DVD.
"Sorry I had to crash your name into Saturn," he said. "If it's any consolation, I crashed my name into the planet, too."
