The Chairman’s Message – February 18th, 2025

Mukashi, mukashi, aru tokoro ni…

Il était une fois…

Es war einmal…

Once upon a time…

Hello, My name is Sherri Benoun, the Chair of Loscon 51, a science fiction/fantasy convention in Los Angeles happening over Thanksgiving weekend 2025. I am thrilled to announce our Guests of Honor, all whom align with the theme of Tell Me a Story.

Author Ursula Vernon, also known as T Kingfisher, tells and retells fantastic stories.

Artist Benton Jew is an acclaimed industry storyboarder and illustrator.

Musician/songwriter Lynn Gold is well known in filk circles.

Actor/storyteller Tadao Tomomatsu has been involved in convention running in the Midwest and California for years.

Besides the GoHs, there will be a storytelling track coordinated by Nick Smith, a noted teller of historical and traditional tales.

I hope you will join us in 2025.

Thank you.
