Details
On Saturday, June 27, four science fictions luminaries will be inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Those being honored this year are author Connie Willis, artist Michael Whelan, editor Edward Ferman and artist Frank R. Paul. This year, the annual celebration will be a part of the annual Locus Awards/Science Fiction Weekend at the Lake Union Courtyard by Marriott in Seattle.
The weekend will kick off Friday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m. with the Clarion West Party, with John Kessel and other special guests. Saturday, June 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Locus will host two science fiction panels with leading authors. From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. the Locus Awards Lunch Banquet will be hosted by author Connie Willis; and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Science Fiction Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be hosted by author Christopher Moore. These events will be held at the Lake Union Courtyard by Marriott.
NOTE TO ATTENDEES: Over the years, the Locus Awards have come to include a Hawaiian shirt contest, with raucously fun results. It is strongly suggested attendees don a Hawaiian shirt during the awards to ward off any embarrassment from not being “part of the crowd.”
As part of the induction, the inductees will be featured in laser-etched images on the translucent, glowing Hall of Fame display. The 2009 inductees’ images will be revealed in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame on Saturday, June 27 at 6:15 p.m. in the second level of the science fiction galleries at EMP|SFM. This will be an opportunity for museum guests to take photos of the inductees and their families.
