The People of Chattacon 

All guests of honor, panelists, performers, presenters, artists or any other individual who may present in some way at Chattacon are booked in good faith and we have their guarantee that they will appear when we announce they will be at the convention. However, unforeseen events (illness, family emergencies or production work) may cause a particular guest to cancel. 

Mike Lowrey

“Orange Mike” Lowrey, a West Tennessean originally part of Nashville fandom but living in Milwaukee, is the only surviving person who has attended every single Chattacon. He married Iowa fan Cicatrice at a con in Milwaukee in 1981, and they have a fanspring Kelly, a/k/a Ink or Pytress; both have attended past Chattas. Mike has been a writer of book reviews, game reviews, and RPG articles since the 1980s. He was the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund (TAFF) delegate to Europe in 2020, although his actual trip had to wait until 2022, when he visited fandoms in Luxembourg, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, England and Scotland.

He’s also a volunteer admin for Wikipedia.
