Year three of the promised five years of Blockparty is underway. April 17th-19th, 2009, at Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square, Downtown Cleveland, OH (just a few blocks from the former location). Again, it will be held in conjunction with Notacon, offering two events in one for your hard-earned ticket dollar. Speaking of which, the deadline for $10 off registration ($65 instead of $75) is rapidly approaching. The new venue promises more room (600 registrations offered, about twice as much as before). The website, as always, is:

Compo rules, some speakers, and a starter list of who’s going (don’t forget to add yourself!) are already up. Invitation intro/demo is coming soon. Leave your expectations at the door!
