There may have been more than 3 "guests" as in "comp'd memberships", but there has never been more than 3 "Guests of Honor" in any past ConFurence.
In fact, there are usually dozens of comp'd memberships every year... Laura and Frank Kelly Freas, for example, stop by the convention each year and we wouldn't dream of charging them for memberships. Jymn Magon ("Disney Afternoon", "A Goofy Movie") is also a regular attendee.
Nick Cuti, who was Joe Staton's partner in crime for the 1970's E-Man comic book (Charleton Comics) is a So. Cal. local, and asked for a free membership so he could hang out at the convention with his old friend. No problem there, either. (Joe Staton is one of this year's 7 Guests of Honor, and we're flying him out from New York)
