Notacon 3 rocked!
Sorry for the delay of this news item. This seemed to be a great success this year. We know there are bugs to work out, but we're definately planning on having Notacon 4! Pre-reg will open as soon as we have a date and location!

Until then, we have a bunch of writeups and picture galleries featured on the main site. Also, I know Jason Scott has been working his butt off getting all of the content for Notacon Radio online.

And as a final plug, don't forget to check out all of our sponsors from Notacon 3.
