Hello from St. Louis!! 

Hello again everyone. We hope all is well in your world and you are enjoying 

the new year. 

Here in St. Louis we are celebrating 30 successful years of Archon with record 

setting attendance, a World Series victory for our Cardinals, and a joyous 

holiday season. 

Our convention enjoyment, however, was marred by the sad news that one 

of fandom's most beloved personalities had passed away. Wilson"Bob" Tucker 

was one of Archon's most unique and special guests for many years. We, as 

well as countless others "smoothed" with Bob and enjoyed his attitude of never 

meeting a stranger and always meeting new friends. We will miss him dearly. 

In order to honor all of the great times that fans all over the world had with Bob, we are naming the 

2007 NASFIC "TUCKERCON". Many people will say and write things about Bob in a much better 

fashion than we can, but this gesture is meant to be both our "Thank You" and our "goodbye" to a 

terrific human being. 

Meanwhile, even though August seems to be in the distant future,we know it will be upon us in no 

time and we on the committee are busily preparing what we hope will be an enjoyable con for all of 

our attendees. Our pre-registration numbers are terrific and many people have volunteered 

suggestions and time to assist us from around the country. We want to be sure to let you know that 

we are trying to provide as much as we can within the constraints of time, money, and available space 

so that both the committee and the attendees can enjoy TuckerCon. 

Here's wishing you all a wonderful new year, and we will see you in August. 

St. Louis Science Fiction, Ltd., hosts of 

Archon, St. Louis' premier SF/Fantasy 

convention, is hosting TuckerCon/Archon 31, the 

2007 North American Science Fiction Convention 

(9th NASFiC), since the Worldcon has been 

awarded to a non-North American site 

(Yokohama, Japan). 

To allow out-of-town families to attend before 

Fall school sessions begin, we rescheduled the 

2007 convention for a four-day weekend two 

months earlier than usual -- 2-5 August instead of 

our usual first weekend in October. This will place 

our St. Louis area convention a month before the 

Yokohama Worldcon, instead of a month after the 

Worldcon if we had scheduled our normal 

weekend. 

TuckerCon - The 9th [Occasional] 

NASFiC/Archon 31 is held at Collinsville, Illinois 

(St. Louis, Missouri area). Located at the 

Collinsville, IL Gateway Center (convention

Gaming Guest of Honor : James Ernest 

James Ernest,(not just Cheapass Games) bio 

James Ernest is an expert game designer, poker player, and juggler. 

He began his gaming career in 1993 doing freelance work for Wizards of 

the Coast. In 1996 Ernest founded a quirky, low-budget game company 

called Cheapass Games (www.cheapass.com). Cheapass Games 

exploded into the under-ten dollar market, with creative games like Kill 

Doctor Lucky, Button Men, and Give Me The Brain. Today Ernest 

continues to run Cheapass Games, as well as a freelance game design 

studio, Lone Shark Games (www.lonesharkgames.com). Lone Shark 

inventions include Pirates of the Spanish Main (Wizkids); Gloria Mundi 

(Rio Grande); CowPoker (Steve Jackson Games) and many others. 

James is a regular columnist in 

Games Quarterly Magazine and Bluff 

Magazine, and has won several awards for game design. At home, 

James enjoys building Lego pirate ships, and playing video games 

with his wife Carol and daughter Nora. 

Filk Guests of Honor : Barry & Sally Childs-Helton 

Barry (bass, guitars, Roland GR-33 guitar 

synth, vocals) has a quiltwork 

musical past that includes solo 

coffeehouse singer/songwriter 

sets, a quirky proto-indie band 

(Barnacle Gonzo and the 

Chianti Brothers), a 

Bloomington poetry-and-music 

experiment (Third Wind), a 

semi-classified crew of sci-fi 

folk-rockers (Black Book 

Band) known for concertizing 

at science fiction conventions, 

and (with percussionist wife Sally) improvised 

incidental music for Indy's Theater of Inclusion on 

electric, acoustic, bass, and baritone guitars. His 

background includes occasional immersion in 

classical and jazz guitar; though his musical 

tastes draw on the whole range of rock, they often 

detour through traditional ballads, blues, 

progressive jazz, Bluegrass, and Bach. 

He has confessed to nurturing an attitude 

problem toward most conventional wisdom. He 

helps provide for the household by copyediting 

computer books for one of the best-known 

publishers in the business. He and Sally share 

said household with a dog, a rowdy crew of 

ferrets, and (probably, but what the heck) too 

many instruments and books. 


4 

Sally At the age of 14 Sally Childs-Helton put 

down the flute, picked up drum 

sticks, and has never looked 

back. In her mid-teens she 

received a drum set from 

parents who believed that girls 

could indeed play drums. 

She majored in music 

education and percussion 

performance as an undergrad, 

and then graduate school at 

Indiana University studying ethnomusicology. 

She is a certified Music for People guided music 

improvisation teacher, and she teaches and 

conducts workshops in hand drums and ethnic 

percussion, music improvisation, and creativity. 

Sally also teaches ethnomusicology and world 

music at the university level, and accompanies 

dance, theater, and choruses. Sally is proud to be 

a co-founder of the Midwest Drumming and 

Dance Festival, and she does a Women's 

Drumming Weekend annually at Oakwood 

Retreat Center outside Muncie. 

Sally especially enjoys jazz, new age, classical 

(especially 20th c.), and all world musics. And 

she's having big fun with Wild Mercy, adding as 

many world music components as possible into 

the Celtic tradition. As her husband Barry is fond 

of saying, "It's all Earthling music."

Fan GOH : 

Nancy Hathaway 

A Brief History of Cleo 

as told by her husband Ross 

Nancy "cleo" Hathaway will 

have been going to science fiction 

conventions for almost 30 years 

as of the Saint Louis NASFIC. Her 

first convention was Archon 2, 

held at Stan Musial & Biggies St. 

Louis Hilton Inn back in 1978. She 

had way too much fun. She came 

with the group from Rocky Horror 

but by the end of the weekend she 

was hanging out with people from 

Saint Louis fandom and hasn't looked back! 

She was born (rumor has it) in 1959 in Asheville, 

North Carolina, Then, she moved to Saint Louis 

when she was seven and now lives in Rosamond, 

California with Ross, her husband of 20 years. 

There is nothing Cleo likes better than to get 

behind the wheel of her minivan and drive. She 

usually drives back to the Midwest two or three 

Artist GOH: Darrell K. Sweet 

If you’ve read much Science Fiction or Fantasy 

in the last forty five years, you’ve almost certainly 

had a book with a Darrell K. Sweet cover in your 

hands. 

Since beginning his career as a professional 

illustrator in 1960, Darrell K. Sweet has had over 

2000 pieces of art published, including the covers 

of over 75 books from the New York Times 

Bestseller List. His style is instantly recognizable, 

full of craggy-faced wizards and gnomes with 

bushy eyebrows, vividly colored dragons, 

armored knights on enormous high-stepping 

steeds, and lonely looking space travelers on 

barren landscapes. 

Darrell attended Syracuse University on a 

scholarship and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts 

degree. After graduating Darrell did his military 

service, going on to become the head of the 

training aids section of the 1ST Training Regiment 

before being discharged in 1959. 


times a year to visit and attend a 

convention or two. 

Cleo has been married to her 

husband Ross "Gator" Hathaway 

since 1986. She met him at 

Czarkon, a small, adults only 

convention she established to 

nurture the inner child in all of us. 

Ross really is a rocket scientist 

(propulsion engineer) for NASA 

Dryden located at Edwards AFB. 

"When the shuttle has to land here 

in California it passes right over 

our house." 

Cleo is a multi-talented artist. 

She works in clay, beads, 

polymer, found objects, and pretty 

much whatever catches her eye. She and her 

husband both do digital photography. In addition 

to being an artist she and Ross collect art and 

have a large collection, acquired over the last 30 

years. She and Ross actually met bidding on a 

drawing by Del Harris called "Dragon Style". Cleo 

won by the way. 

If nothing else, Cleo is friendly and having been

TuckerCon - The 9th NASFiC/Archon 31 Masquerade 

The Archon Masquerade Crew is getting ready for what we hope will be our biggest and best year 

yet. We are looking forward to meeting new costumers, and introducing them to the best masquerade 

experience in the Midwest. For those who are considering entering a costume in the Archon 

Masquerade, we have included some answers to frequently asked questions. If you are new to 

Archon, see our website at www.archonstl.org/masq for more complete information on the rules, stage 

dimensions, and lighting and sound set-up. Or, contact us via snail mail at Masquerade Directors, 

Sheila Lenkman and Scott Corwin, 9119 Madge Ave, Brentwood, Mo, 63144. 

For our loyal regulars, there are a few new things to be aware of. As we are expecting a high number 

of entries, we will cut off masquerade registration at 10:00pm on FRIDAY of the con. NO SATURDAY 

REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. If you will be arriving at the con late on Friday or Saturday 

morning, and you want to enter in the masquerade, you MUST pre-register with us via our on-line 

registration. For those without internet access, we will be happy to mail you a copy of the rules, etc, 

and a registration form to fill out and return. Also, remember we have instituted a “no live microphones 

on stage” rule. All dialogue must be pre-recorded. All 

entrants must keep to the one minute time limit! If you feel 

you need more time, you must get permission from the 

Masquerade Directors before the con. As always, please 

contact us if you have any questions at all about the 

masquerade. We look forward to seeing you next August! 

1.What is the Masquerade? 

Well, it is a costume contest, where the contestants literally 

become that character for a brief while. They might be recreating 

a favorite character from print, TV or film, or it may 

be something straight out of their imagination. Period 

costumes, also called "garb" are also welcome. 

2.When is the Masquerade? 

Archon, Saturday night, at 7 o'clock in the evening. 

3.Who can enter the Masquerade? 

Anyone can enter the masquerade, as long as they have 

an Archon membership, and a costume. You can compete 

as a group, or individually. All ages and skill levels are 

welcome. 

4.What do I get if I win? 

Contestants compete for custom rosettes and bragging rights. Even better, there is a private party for 

all of the contestants after the masquerade. 

5.How do I enter the Masquerade? 

All contestants must register at the Masquerade Registration table in the convention center, down the 

hall from main registration. One of our staff members will answer your questions and help you fill out 

the forms, which MUST be turned in by 10:00pm ON FRIDAY. Or, you may register on-line at 

www.archonstl.org/masq. After registering, you will need to attend the mandatory meeting for all 

contestants, and then schedule a brief tech rehearsal. 

6.Why do I have to register before 10:00pm on Friday? 

Well, putting on a show the size of the Archon Masquerade takes a lot of time. Our staff members have 

to get ready for the show, and we run tech rehearsals all day Saturday. It makes for a very long day 

for the staff. 


6

7.Why do we need tech rehearsals? 

The Archon Masquerade has a reputation for being one of the most professional looking masquerades 

in the country. A big part of that is because of the time and attention we give every contestant on stage. 

We run through your stage entrances and exits, lighting cues, sound, and generally make sure 

everyone understands what they are doing. That way, the contestant is less nervous, and we can 

showcase them to the best of our abilities. 

8.What are the judges looking for? 

There are two sets of judges for the masquerade. The first set is backstage, and are looking at the 

workmanship of your costume. This is where you can show off your fine stitching, painting, metalwork, 

etc,. They also look for engineering and overall construction. The second set of judges is in front of 

the stage, and will be judging on the overall look of your costume presentation. Such things as how 

well you become that character, how you move in the costume, and how you chose to present it will 

be considered. 

9.I have a hall costume. Can I enter that in the Archon Masquerade? 

That depends. If you have a new costume, or one you have not worn at Archon before, you are 

welcome to enter it. If, however, you have worn the same garb for years, it would not be 

recommended. There will be some stiff competition up on stage, and you want to put your best up 

against them. The judges may not look kindly on a costume they've seen roaming the halls all 

weekend. 

10.I bought my costume. Can I enter that in the Masquerade? 

This is a tricky question, actually. If the costume in question is from Wal-Mart, the answer is definitely 

"NO". If, however, you design a costume and pay someone to do part of the construction for you, you 

may be able to enter the Masquerade PROVIDING you notify the Masquerade Director AND you give 

the constructor full credit. For instance, you may enter as "Joe Smith" as "The Blob", wearing a 

costume designed by "Joe Smith", constructed by "Jane Doe and Joe Smith". The workmanship 

judges may or may not consider you eligible for awards, depending on the amount of work you actually 

did on that costume. If an award is given, it will be in both names. 

11.How much stage time can I have? 

Contestants are allowed one minute on stage. Sometimes, however, a simple walk across the stage 

is sufficient- you don't need to use the full minute. Presentations longer than one minute have to be 

approved by the Masquerade Director. 

12.If my friends and I do a short skit, can we have live microphones? 

No. We have found that most presentations that used a live microphone bombed due to the simple 

fact that most people do not know how to use a microphone properly- holding it too low, or too far back. 

To avoid frustrating the audience, yourself, and the tech crew, we decided to no longer offer the live 

mic on stage. You may, however lip synch to pre-recorded material. 

13.Can I enter my ten-year-old in the Archon Masquerade? 

Yes, although parents must remember that this is a competition, and there is a chance that your child 

may not win. There is a special category for children 12 and under, so that they are not in direct 

competition with the adults. Children entering the masquerade are assumed to have helped create the 

costume to some extent. If an adult made the costume for the child, see question number 10, or ask 

the Masquerade Director. 

14.What is "documentation" and why should I bring it? 

Documentation is for the judges to look at to determine how well you re-created your costume. It can 

be as simple as a photocopy of a page from a book or comic, or a more elaborate photo journal of the 

construction process. Not everyone needs documentation. Then again, not everyone has seen 

episode five, season two of your favorite show. Or read that particular book/comic/manga/fanzine, etc.

TuckerCon Art Show 

August 2-5, 2007 

Art Show Director: Susan Bolhafner 

3523 Sidney Street, St. Louis MO 63104 

314-865-1834 - artshow@archonstl.org 

We're looking forward to another successful art 

show. Archon 30 had over 60 artists, filling over 

90 panels and tables with wonderful images and 

objects. There will be a few changes from 

Archon's normal procedures for the NASFIC, 

especially note the new prices and earlier 

deadlines: 

Hanging fees are $25 for each full 4' wide x 7' 

tall panel or 30" x 6' table, $12.50 for a half 

panel/table; limit 3 per artist or agent. (Floor 

space may be arranged -- generally at the table 

sizes and rates.) 

Mail-in art is accepted if accompanied by 

reusable packing and payment for return 

shipping. No storebought pieces are allowed. 

Print shop fee is $12 with no limit on the 

number of different pieces or the quantity of each 

piece entered. Print shop artists must be in 

attendance; no mail-in print shop art is accepted 

in the print shop. 

Junior (age 13-17) and Juvenile (under 13) 

space is FREE, but is limited to one half panel or 

table (artists 17 & under may enter art in the main 

show, but must pay full price for space and the art 

must be of adult quality). 

A 10% commission will be charged on all art 

show (including Junior/Juvenile), print shop, and 

resale shop sales (resale shop fees and rules are 

the same as for the regular art show). For more 

information, or to reserve panel/3D-table space, 

write c/o Susan Bolhafner, 3523 Sidney, St. Louis, 

MO 63104; (314) 865-1834. 

Deadlines: 

Reservation Fees: 

Payment must be received by July 1st. Make 


8 

check or money order payable to ARCHON, and 

send to: Susan Bolhafner, 3523 Sidney Street, St. 

Louis MO 63104 

Refunds and Cancellations: 

Cancellations must be received by NOON on 

Friday of the Convention, and will entitle you to a 

refund or credit for next year's show. No shows 

and failure to cancel by deadline will forfeit refund 

or credit. 

See complete artist guidelines at 

http://archonstl.org/31/artist_guidelines.html 

Control & Bid Sheets: 

Archon uses 2-part carbonless forms. These 

are the only types of forms that will be accepted 

for submissions. No photocopies will be 

accepted. (I realized that everyone hates filling 

out paperwork, but it allows for instant receipts for 

purchased art.) 

Re-Sale Artwork: 

What is it? This is artwork purchased by an 

individual at a previous convention but who would 

now like to sell it to someone else. Re-sale art is 

for direct sale only. There is no bidding on this art. 

Fees: Panel or table fees are the same as the 

regular art show, and the 10% commission rate 

applies. 

Types of Art: 

All art submitted must be of a science fiction, 

fantasy, fannish or humorous nature and must not 

solely have a s/f or fantasy title attached to it. The 

art show staff reserves the right to refuse art that 

does not fall into these categories or that does not 

live up to the standards we would like to 

encourage at Archon. 



Auction: 

There will be 4 bids to auction. The only 

exception will be Art Show Award winners. They 

will be included in the auction regardless of the 

number of bids received. 

Items not sold at auction will be offered for sale 

on Sunday for the direct sale price if it has

eceived no bids prior to the auction. 

If an item receives one to four bids, then the 

high bidder (after close on Saturday) will get the 

item at that price. 

After the art show closing, but before the 

auction, the art show staff will mark (close out) 

each bid sheet accordingly. 

One bid (at least) sells the piece. 

Mail-In Art: 

All mailed-in art must be insured 

All mailed in art must have adequate return 

postage and insurance included in shipment 

All mailed-in art must include a UPS or U.S. 

Postal Service return shipment address label. 

All mailed-in art must have completely filled out 

control AND bid sheets. If your paperwork is not 

complete, YOUR ART WILL NOT HANG! No 

exceptions! 

Mailed-in art should be mailed to: 

Chez Zellich, 

1738 San Martin Dr, 

Fenton, MO 63026-2304 

CALL SUSAN BOLHAFNER at 314-435-7842 

(cell) to confirm the address for mailed art. 

No mail-in art will be accepted after July 25, 

2007 without calling the Art Show Director first!

From Page To Stage 

When you hear that your favorite book or 

movie has been “optioned” for a film or 

television mini-series, you may feel both 

elation and dread. Anytime a book is being 

adapted for stage, screen, or some other 

performing arts medium, change is 

inevitable. And it is this change that fans of 

particular titles abhor and resent from 

Hollywood. When occurrences or characters 

absent from the original story appear, 

(Minority Report, The League of 

Extraordinary Gentlemen, Legends of 

Earthsea) or a successful book fails as a film 

(Timeline, Queen of the Damned), the go-to 

excuse is “Books rarely translate well…”; but if this were the case, why do Harry Potter, Lord of the 

Rings, and The X-Men films continue to succeed at the box office? 

These questions are answered with interest in From Page to Stage, a workshop in adapting literature 

for the performing arts, presented by Lani Tupu and Tee Morris. 

Lani Tupu (Commander Crais and the voice of Pilot from Farscape) and Tee Morris (author of 

MOREVI and Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword) bring their collected experiences 

as actors and writers together in From Page to Stage (FP2S), a look into one of the toughest aspects 

of entertainment: adapting published works for stage, film, or radio. This interactive two-hour seminar 

will take its participants through the process of written work being adapted for stage. Ending with a 

candid and honest discussion on when things work or when writers get lost in translation, From Page 

to Stage gives you an idea of what to expect on the road between published work and blockbuster 

movie. 

For more detail on what the workshop entails see Tee Morris’ website: 

http://www.teemorris.com/frompage2stage/ 

The workshop is $75.00 for 3 hours. Enrollment in advance is preferred, and you can do that through 

http://www.archonstl.org/31 then click on the menu path for Workshops, if space is still available you 

may purchase at the convention, too. Everyone must bring a full pad of 8 ½ x 11 paper and pen or 

pencil. 

Please Note: 

This workshop is neither organized or operated by TuckerCon - The 9th NASFiC/Archon 31and the fees do not go to the 

convention.

Game Department 

Yes, Virginia there will be gaming at TuckerCon. So do not fret we will have a host of adventure 

gaming events beginning at 2pm on Thursday Aug 2 until they tell us to go home after 4pm on Sunday 

Aug 5. 

Adventure gaming will abound throughout the weekend. You can 

expect role-playing games from the worlds featuring Call of Cthulhu, 

various GURPS, Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Ed., Savage Worlds, 

Spycraft 2nd plus various other systems. Living Campaign adventures 

from the world of Living Greyhawk, Living Spycraft and Heroes of 

Rokugan will also be available. Do you fell confined roleplaying at a 

table; you would prefer to move about in a game. Then try a Live Action 

Role Playing 

Game, know as a ‘LARP’. We will have a couple of LARP events on the schedule. Not into roleplaying 

game then how about tabletop and board games from featuring Chez Geek, Munchkin, Civilization, 

Carnasone, Settler of Catan, Kill Dr. Lucky, Cow Poker or World of WarCraft to name just a few. 

Miniature games featuring Mechs of Battletech, Starship Troopers: Mobile Infantry, Babylon 5 and 

other spaceship combat systems. We will also have demos of the latest card games from Alderac 

Entertainment Group, Upper Deck, and Nintendo. 

Looking for a pickup games with friends. Then be sure to take a look at our onsite Game Library 

featuring over 60 games. 

Check the TuckerCon - The 9th NASFiC/Archon 31 Game webpage for the latest adventure gaming 

updates.

Dealers Room 

There will be 85-90 tables - a very favorable 

ratio for the expected 2500-3500 attendees. 

Rates are $110 for the first 8' table, $125 for the 

second table, and $150 for the third; most dealers 

will be limited to 2 tables each. 

NO memberships are included in table prices, 

and all workers must have a valid convention 

badge. Dealers qualify for a special $70 

membership rate between August 1, 2006 and 

February 15, 2007 if the membership 

registrations are sent in with their table/panel 

space payments. Up to three dealer 

memberships may be purchased at the special 

rate; if paid separately, the rate in effect at the 

time of membership payment will apply. 

When requesting tables, please specify the 

number of tables desired, what type of 

merchandise you plan to sell, and if you require 

electricity (electricity will be billed separately at 

the convention center's current quoted rates; 

their 2006 rates were $35 for up to 500 watt 

service, $45 for 501-1000 watt service, $55 for 


11 

1001-1500 watt service, and $65 for 1501-2000 

watt service if ordered in advance, or $50, $60, 

$70, and $80 if ordered at the convention). 

Sales Tax: Dealers are responsible for obtaining 

an Illinois tax identification number and paying all 

sales taxes. If you do not have an Illinois tax ID 

number, you will not be eligible for tables. 

For additional information, table requests, and 

payments, write to 

Dealers Room, Archon 31/9th NASFiC, PO Box 

8387, St. Louis, MO 63132-8387, or contact Jill 

Lybarger via email (dealers@archonstl.org). 

Additional information and forms are available 

on the Archon 31/TuckerCon web site. 

Alternatively, you can write or email the Dealers 

Room for this information:

HOTELS: 

Unused portions of the room blocks for all hotels, 

except the Holiday Inn, will be released on or 

about July 1st. The Holiday Inn block will be 

released on June 1st. 

BE AWARE - Ask for ARCHON, Not Tuckercon 

or NASFIC, when making reservations. 

The room rates listed below do not include 11% or 13% tax. 

CONVENTION HOTEL: 

Holiday Inn: 

1000 Eastport Plaza Drive, Collinsville, IL 

62234-6104; 1-800-551-5133 ($119.95 singlequad, 

$189.95 for parlor half of Junior Suites; 

includes coupons for full American breakfast for 

up to two people per room per day) 

Internet access: Wireless Ethernet, all rooms, 

Wired Ethernet "bridges" available on request 

NOTE: All reservations are required to include at 

least Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and will be 

charged to your credit card at the time of booking. 

Reservations cancelled on or after June 1st, 2007 will 

not be refunded. 

IN ADDITION: The Holiday Inn is insisting guests fill 

out, sign, and return a form agreeing to the above, and 

a separate form with the credit card information 

including a photocopy of both sides of the credit card. 

We have argued, pleaded, and yelled at them and, so 

far, they have refused to budge on this outrageous 

requirement.We intend to keep working on them to 

return to their former practice of booking reservations 

over the phone, and eliminating these forms. We hope 

to at least eliminate the requirement for photocopying 

the credit card, as this is a serious security issue, 

dependent on them adequately securing the paper 

forms containing both the credit card account 

information and an image of the actual card, complete 

with signature and security code. 

A SUGGESTION: To avoid the security problem of the 

Holiday Inn keeping paper copies of your credit card for 

up to 10 months, you can use a one-time-use prepaid 

credit card, or debit gift card. Commerce Bank issues 

Visa gift cards in specific amounts for $4.99. There are 

also other Visa Gift card providers, and you can also 

get Mastercard and Discover (can only be ordered 

online) prepaid and gift cards. 

Thanks to Rick (rebsiot_at_charter.net) 

We have all of the Holiday Inn's function space 

(in addition to the entire convention center), and 


12 

the con suite will be on the ground floor, with 

access to the patio for smokers. 

PARTIES: 

The ground-floor wing leading to the indoor pool 

will be blocked as the dedicated party wing 

(partiers should let both the hotel and the Archon 

committee know if they plan to host a party, so we 

can guarantee a room in that section. NO parties 

will be allowed on other floors. 

For more information, and to register your 

party online, see 

http://www.archonstl.org/31/arcparty.html; 

for a list of currently-announced parties, see 

http://www.archonstl.org/31/partylist.html. 

Except for the COURTYARD, the public areas 

of the hotel's first floor will be designated 

NON-SMOKING. 

ADDITIONAL HOTELS: 

Some of these hotels are already sold out, but 

most of them have some rooms held outside the 

Archon block, and you may still be able to get a 

non-block room reservation at a similar price. 

We plan to run wheelchair-capable shuttle 

buses, but we do not yet know if we will be able 

to extend the shuttle service to the Caseyville and 

Fairview Heights overflow hotels. 

Six of the following seven hotels are on the 

opposite side of the Gateway Center from the 

Holiday Inn (the Extended Stay Suites, Super 8, 

and Fairfield Inn are on the street leading to the 

Gateway Center, and the others are on a 

separate access street behind them).

The following two hotels are on the other side

Small Press Alley 

This will be a place for authors and "small press" publishers to sell their books separately from the 

Dealers Room, similar to the Artists Alley. It will tentatively be located in the long rear entry hallway 

leading to Registration; 6'x30" tables will be $85 each, or $45 for a half table. For more information, 

contact Jill Lybarger (Dealers Room). 

2007 TuckerCon Artist Alley 

TuckerCon - The 9th NASFiC/Archon 31 will 

again be hosting an Artist’s Alley. Some of the 

basic information is as follows. 

(Detailed info available from the website at 

http://www.archonstl.org/31/index2.html) 

Location: The Artist Alley will be located 

outside of the art show in the Gateway Center. 

Tables and Rates: The Artist Alley will consist 

of 21 6'x30" tables. TuckerCon reserves the right 

to change the number of tables. To guarantee a 

table in the Artist Alley, Artists need to reserve a 

table space in their name and pre-register for the 

convention. 

Table space will be assigned on a first-paid, 

first-served basis. Rates for Artist Alley are $60 

per table. Artists who wish to share tables or be at 

adjacent tables should contact the Artist Alley 

Coordinator. 

If you require electricity: There are outlets 

available in the hallway where the Artist Alley is 

located. We recommend the artist bring an 

extension cord and powerstrip. If the artist 

requires special electrical needs, please contact 

the Artist Alley coordinator listed below. 

Reserving a Table: First contact the Artist Alley 

Coordinator (artistalley@archonstl.org) to verify 

tables are available. (At the time of this 

publication, there are five tables still available). 

Include your name, studio (or group), number of 

Artists in your group, and the number of table 

spaces you would like to reserve. The coordinator 

will review your request and let you know by email 

if your reservation request is approved. Once 

your request is approved, mail the signed Artist 

Alley Contract (available from the website at 

http://www.archonstl.org/31/index2.html) with 

payment (made out to Archon) to: 

TuckerCon/Archon 31 

PO Box 8387 

St. Louis, MO 63132-8387 

ATTN: Artist Alley 

Payments before the convention can be by 

credit card, check or money order. If you mail in 


15 

your payments, you can use the usual credit 

cards - Mastercard, Visa, Diner's Club, and 

American Express. 

Once all tables are sold out, the Coordinator will 

maintain a waiting list of artists. 

Hours of Operation: Artists may occupy their 

tables starting at 5PM on Thursday, Aug. 2 until 

Noon on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2006. Other than that, 

there are no set hours. The tables are in an open 

area, so the Artists can occupy them as long as 

they want in-between opening and closing. Artists 

must remove all their material from the Artist Alley 

by Noon Sunday. 

Appropriate Sales: Artists may only sell their 

own work in the Artist Alley. Artists will not sell 

commercial merchandise at their table, unless it is 

their own work. The Artist may not sell anything 

other than art originally created by themselves in 

one form or another. The Artist may not re-sell 

materials that can be bought in a store. Artists will 

check IDs of persons to ensure they are 18 years 

or older before allowing them to purchase or buy 

adult material. Artists will ensure that any such 

works are kept in separate folders from other 

work. 

Fan art will be permitted only if it is of an original 

concept design by the artist and not a copy of an 

existing design. It should also be of limited 

production and not mass-produced. If there are 

any questions, ask the Artist Ally Coordinator. 

Art Show: The Artist Alley is a separate entity 

from the Art Show. The Art Show bears no 

responsibilities to the Artist Alley Artists and vice 

versa. 

Security: Artists are responsible for securing 

their own works and material when not present at 

their tables. The Art Show has graciously offered 

to allow Artist Alley Artists to store their wares in a 

designated area in the Art Show room, which will 

be locked at night. 

Contacts: Any questions can be directed to 

the Artist Alley Coordinator at 

artistalley@archonstl.org 

or to artistalley@artczar.org.

Got your good walking/standing shoes on? 

Programming at TuckerCon will get underway as soon as 

humanly possible after registration [officially] opens and will run 

(almost) continuously through Sunday afternoon in (and outside) 

all our facilities. 

Prepare to be overloaded with your choice among all the 

panels (which will include late night as well as special interest 

tracks for children, young adults, writing, art, science, media, 

podcasting, gaming, masquerade, fan fiction, filking, and 

academic) plus readings, plays, food functions, workshops, 

signings, slide shows, audience participation events, award 

presentations, demonstrations (both hands-on and not), "make & 

takes", concerts, fannish games, one-on-one literary beers and 

kaffeklatches, fan club meetings, and nightly dances, that you 

can stand. But Wait! There's More!! 

For Tuckercon we're hoping to come up with the most 

innovative and outstanding programming we've ever done and 

we need your help to do so! If you are interested in participating 

in programming at Tuckercon, but are not necessarily on any 

current Archon programming list, please send your name and 

subject matter to programming@archonstl.org, and please be 

sure to put "TuckerCon programming" in the subject field. You 

will be contacted as soon as possible and asked to give details 

of any programming at that time. 

Also, if you have subjects that you'd like to see at TuckerCon, 

but do not necessarily want to participate in them, please forward 

those ideas in detail to the above email address. 

We can't guarantee that everyone will get to participate or that 

every programming item suggested will be used, but we do plan 

to incorporate as many volunteers and ideas as possible. 

Thanks in advance for your interest and help. 

- Michelle Zellich, Programming Director

Memberships: 

NOTE THE RATE CHANGE TAKING EFFECT ON FEBRUARY 16TH! From 1 August 2006 thru 15 

February 2007, the Attending rates will be $90 Adult, $75 Young Adult (age 11-16 as of 2 Aug 2007), 

and $65 Child (age 6-10 as of 2 Aug 2007). Children under the age of 6 may be registered, and will 

receive their own badge, but will not receive any publications. Pre-Supporter price breaks are no 

longer in effect. 

After 15 February 2007, the Adult rate will increase to $120, and may be higher at the door. The 

Young Adult and Child rates will remain at $75 and $65, respectively. 

The Supporting rate (which gets you all convention publications, but does not convey attendance 

rights) is $35. Conversion from Supporting to Attending will be the difference between $35 and the 

applicable Attending rate at the time of conversion. 

Dealers and artists qualify for a special $70 membership rate between August 1, 2006 and February 

15, 2007 if the membership registrations are sent in with their table/panel space payments. If paid 

separately, the rate in effect at the time of membership payment will apply. 

One-day adult memberships rates have not yet been set. One-day memberships will only be sold at 

the door; members who choose to stay for additional days can upgrade for the difference between the 

one-day rate and full membership. 

The usual Archon practice of comping pro and past GoH memberships will be changed for this 

convention only; see our Guest Membership Policy on the con's web page for details. 

To see if you were a Pre-Supporter or Voter, or if you have already converted, check the list further 

on in this Progress Report or online at http://www.archonstl.org/31/memberlist.html. 

To join or convert, fill out the form below or online at 

http://www.archonstl.org/31/membform.html. 

Need something different for your favorite fan for Birthday/Anniversary? How about a 

membership in TuckerCon? Just pick the level/type of membership you want and we'll send 

them a gift receipt in your name.

Cleo (Cont. From p. 5) 

around such a long time she knows some of the best stories about Saint Louis fandom. Ask her some 

tales of the Henry VIII or some of the Archons held at the Chase Park Plaza. She was there and there 

are many witnesses to her antics. 

Sweet (Cont. from p. 5) 

Hambly. 

A collection of his work entitled Beyond Fantasy: The Art of Darrell K. 

Sweet was published by Friedlander in 1996 in both hardcover and 

softcover. The book is currently out of print, and copies sell for double 

or more of the cover price in the collectors’ market. 

His work hasn’t been limited to book covers. His art has been used 

for calendars, trading cards, role playing games, the Romantic Castles 

of Europe collectors plate series, advertising, the Wyoming Fish and 

Game department, the New Jersey bicentennial, and on and on. 

Likewise, he hasn’t limited himself to Science Fiction and Fantasy and 

he’s currently working on a series of western paintings for the 

openings of the “Mountain Trails” galleries in Wyoming and New 

Mexico. To his knowledge, his original paintings are included in 

private collections in thirty five states and in five European countries. 

In addition to his many Artist Guest of Honor and other 

convention appearances, his awards and nominations, his 

exhibitions and “one man shows” in places like New York, 

Philadelphia, Seattle, Nashville, Austin and Atlanta, 

Darrell’s talents have been recognized through 

invitations to teach. He’s given lectures at 

Trenton State College and Syracuse 

University (his alma mater), where 

he taught the Summer Art 

Program. Recently he’s been 

teaching close to home by giving a 

course in acrylic painting for the Art 

League in Cody, Wyoming where 

he lives with his wife Janet and son 

Darrell R. Sweet, an artist and 

sculptor. 

You can see some of the work of 

the Sweet family at their official 

web site www.sweetartwork.com 

We’re sure you’ll enjoy meeting 

our Artist Guest of Honor Darrell K. 

Sweet, seeing some of his original 

works in person and having the 

opportunity to hear him speak 

about his amazing career as a 

professional illustrator of the 

fantastic.
