NEWS:

ICON was great! The con went off well and despite slightly lowered attendance numbers (economy still sucks) is still very viable from a business perspective.

We missed some regular fixtures, like Charles, Felix and the Garners, and some more casual attendees we'd still like to see (get Saturday passes, folks!).   And of course we missed Joe and Gay Haldeman. We all look forward hopefully to next year marking their triumphant ICON return!

The concom of ICON 34 would love feedback from attendees about this year's con.  Let us know things you liked, didn't like, things to make it better, or even things you would like to see next year.  Contact them at: info@iowa-icon.com.
