Xanadu 6 (also known as Xanadu Omega because it had been previously announced to be the last Xanadu -- and it turned out to be, because Xanadu VII was announced but then cancelled) was held in November 17-19, 1989 at the Ramada inn, Opryland in Nashville, TN. The GoHs were Sharon Webb, Debbie Hughes (artist), Mark Maxwell (special, but he was also an artist) , and Brad Strickland's Cooler (fan) which seems to have been a bit of an affectation, especially since the Cooler's writeup was by "Brad Strickland's Word Processor".
It was chaired by Dan Caldwell and Bob Tucker was toastmaster.
