CRASH SPACE
If you are planning to stay in Calgary before or after Costume-Con and need crash space, please contact Pam Bowyer at (Removed) She will try to arrange billeting.
SPACEPORT
You may want to plan to spend a little extra time at the Calgary Airport on your way home, after you have checked your luggage. If you head up to the third floor, by the food court, you will find a truly fun place to spend a little time -- the Spaceport, which opened in September 2000. The entrance features a giant "space cowboy" as well as a space cow transported from Calgary's "Udderly Art" show this past summer.
At SpacePort, you can run a computer flight simulator, fly a model plane, check out a live link to NASA or the Canadian Space Agency, or listen in to air traffic control. Displays include a quarter-scale replica of the space shuttle orbiter, a moon rock, and a DeHavilland Beaver bush plane. Depending on what time you are there, there are also flight simulator rides which charge $2 - $6 Cdn. There is also a play area for children under twelve.
The SpacePort is free, except for the motion simulation rides. Visit their site at:

HALL COSTUMES
Our Hall Costumes theme is: "Turn of the Century" -- ANY Century. This could be anything from 1,000,001 BC (or would that be 999,999? Hmmm…) or 1301 AD, or 1901 AD, to 3001 AD and beyond…
