Program as of 15 June 2000
This is the latest version of the Program. We think it is fairly close to what will actually happen at-con, but There Will Be Changes! As always, we can't promise that any of these items will actually happen or that the people listed will actually be at the con or on the particular program item. But we think this -- bad weather, volcanic eruptions, illness, travel disuptions, giant meteor impacts or the like not withstanding -- is pretty close to what will really happen.
This is the last version we will be posting! We hope to see you there!
