We've just gone live with the website for the weekend, and you can get to it via either of these addresses:

http://www.stokers2009.com
http://www.stokers2009.org

The website is fully functional - we can accept Paypal ticket orders, and all information
on reserving hotel rooms is in place.

We've also established a Yahoo group as another way to stay up-t0-the-minute:

Remember, we're cutting off ticket sales on this at 250, so don't delay!

Planning, planning, planning

Even though the Stoker Weekend is still about 7 months away, there's been a lot of activity behind the scenes. So far, we've found four Guests of Honor, worked out a business plan, arranged most of what we need with the hotel, worked out a tentative strategy for the kinds of activities we want to have through the weekend, and much more.

It's a blast to work on this, and we hope you'll reserve the weekend to attend.

This will be the official blog for the 2009 Stoker Awards Weekend, to be held June 12-14 in Burbank, California. Here the co-organizers Lisa Morton and John R. Little will announce new guests, events, and updates to the website as they happen. Sign up for an RSS feed or bookmark the blog now so you don't miss any of the news as it happens!
