OKLACON NEWSLETTER FOR MAY, 2008
The beast has made it’s home at Oklacon 6 and now is expanding its territory this year with the Lodge available to the few who seek it's safety.
Rooms will be offered for the low price of $63 a night (Make sure you mention you are with Oklacon when making reservations), but you must hurry because ROOMS ARE RUNNING OUT FAST, we have already sold out half of the hotel. The cabins are also all filled at this time. You might want to consider bringing that tent this year or bunking up with your furry friends in an A-Frame. Act soon as your time is running out. Register now at, http://www.oklacon.org/
GUESTS OF HONOR
Our Guests of Honor this year are Jeff Goode, known for the Disney Channel’s “American Dragon: Jake Long”, and many other plays. You will be able to find him hosting a panel or be part of our Radio Play for the year. For more information about Jeff, visit http://www.jeffgoode.com/ or http://www.jeffgoode.com/tv/americandragon/index.htm
Oz Kangaroo is also our Guest of Honor. Oz is an avid performer and is certainly no stranger to the con stage, most noted is his Inflatable Kangaroo fursuit! Oz will be Oklacon's first international Honored Guest coming all the way from Australia, where he is a professional mascotter and a character costume builder; so expect to see a lot of activity from him at the con this year.

SUB-LEVEL 03 RETURNS & MIDNIGHT DANCES

For more information on the band, please visit http://www.sublevel3.us But the night time fun doesn't stop there, also preforming will be Bucktown Tiger, and many talented DJ's including our own DJ Fenn who will be doing an "All Request Dance" Friday night after Bucktown's show.

Speaking of dances, Oklacon is looking for DJ's so if you are interested in DJing please fill out the form here, http://www.oklacon.org/php/djapp.php After our DJ Coordinator has received your application he will then review it and contact you for a sample of your work.
OKLACON NEEDS ART!
Artists at the con this year will make their mark with a new offering. If you pre-register for the con you can get free
Art Panel space! This is a limited time offer so act now! Art work will need to be matted and/or framed and is limited to size.
We are also looking for artwork for the conbook, webpage, promotions and more. Please contact
our art director at art08@oklacon.org for more details. Also if you thought the Wood Burning Iron artist rocked, just wait until you see this years event.
PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS
We experienced a growth spurt last year at the con so we will be expanding our programming to the
Roman Nose Lodge also. We will be having many of the regular events you have come to love at Oklacon
like the Predator/Prey games, the outside Fursuit games, the Shaving Creamed Pie fight and other activities and lots more new things to do and see.
If you would like to contribute, please contact Lucky Wolf at events08@oklacon.org to submit your ideas or participation, and keep in mind we are looking for both indoor and outdoor events.
AUCTIONS & DEALERS DEN
There will be two auctions again this year, one to benefit our Con charity Safari Sanctuary of Broken Arrow, OK. (http://www.safarissanctuary.org/), and the art auction to benefit you, our attendee. Our Furry Auction will
showcase your items of furry origin that you no longer want. Just bring those in for yourself or to benefit the Charity Auction. If you have a lot to offer, consider being a dealer. We are expanding our dealers den this year so we have room for more dealers. If interested, contact Stormy at dealersden08@oklacon.org
FOOD!
One of the most unique items that the con provides is food! Oklacon has meals! We provide a lot of
food for you to dine on, including a lunch and dinner prepared by our kitchen staff and head chef, Travis. You are also encouraged to bring your own, just in case you have a hearty appetite.
