As some of you may have heard, Eric Flint has taken ill. He is currently recovering at a hospital in Utah and will be unable to attend ConGregate. We will not be replacing Eric as GoH, because being a guest of honor is about honoring the guest, not about us, his fans.
Toni Weisskopf has offered to fill in where ever possible, in Eric's absence.
We send Eric our thoughts and best wishes.
