It is with deep sadness that ApolloCon announces the passing of Pamela Poggiani, better know to many of us as Pogo. She passed away in her home on February 12.

Pogo was active in fandom for many years in Houston. She is know for her time spent in Baen's Bar, her tenure in the Society of Creative Anachronism as Lady Melusine Whitcroft the Petite, and through her charitable works with ReadAssist. She worked with ApolloCon for several years, and her contributions as Newsletter editor were invaluable. We will miss Pogo and her passionate advocacy for science fiction.

ApolloCon is very pleased to announce that Martha Wells has agreed to be our Guest of Honor for 2011.

Ann VanderMeer has accepted our invitation as Editor Guest of Honor. But what is she going to do with that spatula?!?

ApolloCon 2011 will return to the DoubleTree Hotel Houston Intercontinental Airport. Same room rates as last year, PLUS Free Wi-Fi for ApolloCon Members with Room Reservations.

ApolloCon 2011 is happy to announce our first Guest. Jeanne Gomoll has accepted our invitation to be our Fan Guest of Honor.

Thanks to all the Guests, Participants, and Members for making ApolloCon 2010 yet another bang up success.
