I&#8217;m not part of it this year, but the festival I started &#8211; nwcMUSIC &#8211; absolutely is, and needs all the people it can get. <a href=\"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/back-from-nwc2015\/\">I&#8217;ve talked about this before in some depth<\/a>, of course, but in short form, it was time for me to step away and hand the reins to someone else, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they&#8217;ll be dividing my job up into many nice bite-sized pieces, so you don&#8217;t have to go all in at once. They&#8217;ve filled a couple of positions &#8211; daytime programming director, for example, which is a big one &#8211; but are without doubt still looking for more. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/402857029913773\/\">The first all-hands meeting is September 19th<\/a>, just eight days away, in SeaTac. It would be <em>really great<\/em> if anyone and everyone interested would show up. Or, if you&#8217;re interested but can&#8217;t make that meeting, let them know that, too.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as I&#8217;ve said before, I will totally dump information at you. I will be a resource. I have a <em>lot<\/em> of institutional knowledge and I <em>want<\/em> to share it in order to keep this thing going. So, <a target=\"_Blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/2015\/09\/06\/september-concom-meeting-5\/\">hie thee off to Norwescon<\/a> and volunteer with Programming (for daytime events) or Special Events (for concerts and other large event items). Opportunities <em>are available now<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To speak honestly: while it is definitely time for me to step away from the organisational side for a while, I&#8217;ve had some amazing experiences building nwcMUSIC, and met a lot of awesome people running events at Norwescon. It seems pretty damn likely you will too. Give it a shot, and find out for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/solarbird.net\/Livejournal\/2015-09\/nwc39-poster.jpg\"><br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/402857029913773\/\">Facebook event<\/a> &#8211; <a target=\"_Blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/2015\/09\/06\/september-concom-meeting-5\/\">Convention Event Page<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norwescon 2016 (the 39th Norwescon) is spinning up, and projects are well underway.
