Progress Reports

LoneStarCon 3 will be producing six Progress Reports in total. The first five of these will be produced in paper format, with PDFs available for those members requesting electronic publications. The final Progress Report will be produced in electronic format only, and will include key information to help members have a trouble-free arrival and start to their stay in Texas.

The latest Progress Report is PR4 which was published on Friday, May 24, 2013.

Electronic copies of each Progress Report can be downloaded by clicking on the links or cover images below.

The covers for Progress Reports 1 to 4 are by renowned fan artist Brad W. Foster, who also designed the convention logo and mascot, "Tony the Star". As you can see, these four covers combine to form a single image. Take a moment to read this article where Brad explains a little more about his ideas.
