I think it's time, especially given AB has the emails of everyone who pre-registers months in advance already. If there already is/was a newsletter, I've never seen one in the 7 years I've been going to AB. I think if folks knew they could sign up to get updates delivered to their inbox on a monthly, bi-monthly and weekly basis (depending on how close/far we are to the next con), it would help address alot of the misinformation and confusion many attendees deal with when they arrive.

In addition to the usual programming announcements, it would also contain news and updates on current events in the area that may impact the convention. The things that come to mind are the construction in the area and the reason for the increased security.

...And that said, I am currently making two templates as a starting point: A generic one and a second one using the theme of the year. You guys already collect email for Pre-reg verification. Adding the option to be put on a mailing list would be awesome.
