Con*Stellation has a no weapons policy with two exceptions. Weapons may be used as a part of a costume in the Masquerade, if approved in advance by the Masquerade staff. Dealers may also sell weapons in the Dealers Room, but all weapons must be wrapped securely and taken by the purchaser directly to her/his room or off hotel property. If your mailing address has changed since your last Con*Stellation please provide us with a current email address.
As always, we'll have programming sure to satisfy a wide variety of tastes. Whether it's a Science Panel, an Author Roundtable, or the Art Auction, you will surely find something of interest at Con*Stellation. And, of course, don't forget our Dance, filking till late into the night, and other treats we have in store for you. There's always something that's entertaining to do! :)
Star Wars, Mad Scientists, Fairies and Hobbits... Oh My!

We serve one of the best selections of munchies in Southern fandom. What delicious surprises will next appear on our tables? Bring on the crock pots!
