Just a reminder that there's only a week left until the C-ACE pre-registration deadline! If you'd like to pre-register for the low rate of $30 CAN/$20 US, you'll need to send in your registration letter and payment postmarked by Friday, May 2. Everyone who pre-registers is eligible for the draw for a free commission by Gryllus! As well, the deadline for reserving a hotel room at the special low convention rate is Thursday, May 1. There aren't that many rooms left in our reservation block, so if the hotel says that there is no more space available, please contact me at [email protected]. I'll see what I can do to get more room nights added at the lower rate.

As well, we have a few more updates to our web site. More details about our programming panels and workshops can be found at http://www.c-ace.org/programming.htm. The schedule listing the exact times for each panel, along with any changes to the current list, should be up shortly to assist you in planning out your weekend. As well, find out who's in the (sold-out) Dealers Room at http://www.c-ace.org/dealersroom.htm ... Finally, we have maps showing nearby restaurants, shopping, and entertainment at http://www.c-ace.org/localarea.htm. We're very fortunate to have a good selection of inexpensive restaurants nearby. Please contact us if you'd like to know the proximity of a particular service or store in relation to the hotel.

I'll post a brief one-line reminder about the deadline a day or two before it occurs, but this will be the final major update that will be posted to all the public forums and boards. To stay informed about any last minute additions or information, please check either our discussion board on our website: http://www.c-ace.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/announcements.cgi or our CACE LiveJournal http://www.livejournal.com/community/cace_discuss/

Thank you very much for your interest in C-ACE. I look forward to seeing many of you at our convention and am very grateful for all the support we've received.

Best;
