PR 2
MW*C 33 Progress Report 2 is now available.
SF/Media Fan Fund
We are revamping the SF/Media Fan Fund nomination and voting process in the hopes of getting more participation. Nominations will be taken up to just before the con (admittedly a short window this year), and voting will be done AT the con. This will help deadlines better coordinate with MW*C PRs, allow us to raise awareness at the con, and allow the recipient to have a year to plan rather than scramble at the last minute.
2013 SF/Media Fan Fund Nomination form is now available on the MW*C website!

Needs Ride
Is anybody leaving early (or early-ish) Monday for the general Baltimore area? I really need to be able to get to work Tuesday morning! Of course, I would be happy to share expenses and driving duties, am a non-smoker and have a driver’s license (but no car. I am a good driver, but have no insurance since I have no car…)
Thanks, J. Holly Horsman

Lansing Liaison
Carl says all his accounts were hacked, etc., so the ONLY safe way for MediaWest*Con people to contact him is via by cell number 517-515-3643.
Also, he'll be at the hotel Thursday from 4:30 PM 'til 8 PM and those who've reserved scooters (currently a total of 8, but Carl thinks there may be as many as 6 more that might be reserved) should contact him on his cell ASAP, if they haven't already.

Roommate wanted for a room at the host hotel. We already have three people and are looking for a fourth. Non-smokers preferred (2 roommates have respiratory problems). Pets welcome. Please e-mail rmstade@hotmail.com.

Scooter/Motorized Wheelchair Rentals
Attention: As noted in PR 1, anyone in need of renting a scooter for MediaWest*Con needs to contact Carelinc Medical Equipment as soon as possible. Carelinc needs to know height, weight, credit card info, and other specs. Call them at (517) 485-9588. Carl Tielking, Local Liaison, also needs to know who has reserved scooters through Carelinc, and currently plans to be at The Ramada (Host Hotel) Thursday for a few hours to distribute them, and needs to know if alternate arrangements must be made for any attendees unable to meet that day and time. Carl can be reached at (517) 515-3643 or (517) 580-7834 or via e-mail at alkiecarl@yahoo.com. The Ramada is not at all involved in scooter rentals.
