You can find alot of stuff in "Toy Shop".  It's sort of a newspaper format
magazine that nearly entirely consists of want ads and sale ads.  It may
be available at a newsstand or at a comic shop.  Another place to look is
in the classified ads in some of the other toy magazines.  The best place 
to look seems to be at toy shows or sci-fi conventions and maybe comic
comventions, there you can look at the stuff before you buy.  

A great place is yard sales, I have found quite a bit, but you have to
deal with getting up early on Sat. and hitting as many as possible.
No doubt that these will be the best deals around, but you will have
to also deal with the fact that this is just a gamble and that you may NEVER 
find anything at a yard sale.  Check out used stores like Goodwill or Salvation
Army, you may find stuff there also.  Ask around school, I bet you'll find
somebody who is tight on cash and is willing to bring his stuff up for you
to see.  I got a TIE Bomber that way 8-).

You have to do alot of homework on this stuff or you will probably be suckered 
into a bad deal or two.  Take my word for it, it happens all the time.

When Moff Tarkin is forcing Leia to divulge the location of the hidden
rebel base right before they blow up Alderan, the line goes something
like this:

MT: For the last time, where is the rebel base.
PL: Dantooine.  They're on Dantooine.
MT: There.  You see, Lord Vader.  Continue with the operation, you may
fire when ready.
PL: What?!?
MT: You're far to (word in question - Trusty?).  We will deal with your
rebel friends soon enough.

So, does anyone have an idea what that word is?  Trusty is a word, but it
means trustworthy and dependable and this makes no sense at all if they
didn't trust her.  Please email me responses.

Perhaps the Young Indy series just didn't work for me because it was so far
off what I had expected of it.  It was a very ambitious project, but it is just
not the style ofentertainment that I enjoy or that I thought Lucas would make.
But I am happy that Lucas tried to produce something very different from what
he had done before rather than rest on his laurels.  It's good that he tried
to use the name of Indiana Jones to get people to watch a program he thought
would be beneficial to them.  But as far as learning something from fiction
goes, I think that the Yoda-type philosophies in Star Wars work much better
than the factual kind of information that was a big part of Young Indy.
And I wasn't comparing Young Indy to Howard the Duck; I was just saying that
Howard was the closest thing to mindless action that Lucas has produced and
the Star Wars and Indy films were much more than that. Still, even though I
didn't enjoy the Young Indy series I still applaud Lucas for his efforts and am
certainly glad that he had a good time doing it!

In August, Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is at its best. Stroll in the
ancient alleys of the  Old Town, in the shadow of the  Royal Castle. Visit
the  Royal Garden island with the world famous outdoor museum  Skansen and
the 17th century warship Wasa.
  Below the City Hall with its three crowns on top  (se above), famous for
hosting the Nobel banquets, you can see Stockholmers sailing on surfboards
or fishing for  salmon,  in the cleanest  downtown waters  of any European
capital.  This is  also  the time for the  international  Stockholm  Water
Festival,  with concerts,  shows,  theatre,  exhibitions,  shopping areas,
fireworks in the evenings, and lots of other things.
  This is  also when we arrange  Conscience 93.  You get Stockholm at  its
best  -  and we hope to give you a convention at its best. Planning is yet
in early stages, but here are some details:
  * Foreign Guest of Honour  will be Jerry Pournell,  famous sf author and
long time columnist in Byte Magazine (Computing in Chaos Manor-column).
  * Because of  the GoH  many program items will  deal with  computers and
science fiction: cyberspace, virtual reality, new electronic media, etc.
  * Conscience 93  will also host a  constituting meeting for a  Baltic SF
Convention Society,  which will arrange yearly  "Balticons", and we expect
many foreign visitors from countries around the Baltic Sea.
  * The program will be in English to a  considerable degree (e g no films
are dubbed) and Swedes do speak reasonably good English.
  * The program  will of course  have all the usual:  panels, exhibitions,
films, bar, shows, bookroom - you name it!
  * Fees are not decided, but will be around 50 dollars. (Eastern European
fans get free memberships - you should contact us in advance, since we can
make other special arrangements, e g free housing and subsidized tickets.)

In order to make rec.arts.sf.announce useful to as many readers as possible,
we would like you to follow some simple format and content guidelines:

  1)  Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50 lines.

  2)  Please format your postings for 80-column screens, as that is the most
  common screen size on the net.

  3)  Please check your spelling and grammar.

  4)  If you are posting to announce an event, such as a convention or a
  signing, please include the location of the event in the Subject line.
  For example:

  Subject: Los Angeles, CA - Joe Schmoe at Soo Foo Books.

  5)  Please include a Keywords: line in your submission.  If you are
  using a mailer or other interface that doesn't allow you to create a
  Keywords: header, simply include the Keywords line in the body of your
  submission.

  Suggested standard Keywords:

    administrivia, award, birth, closing, convention, death, honor, lecture,
    mailing list, meeting, miscellaneous, opening, reading, signing, seminar,
    television special

  6)  If you are submitting something as a prospective regular posting, the
  posting should have a Subject line beginning with "Rec.arts.sf".

Chris, you clot, you've mistyped the second half of the table!

It should read:
  Voted?  PreSupp?    Friend       to Support       to Attend
    Y       N           N            L0 / $0         L25 / $40

    Y       Y           N            L0 / $0         L20 / $32
    Y       Y           Y            L0 / $0         L0  / $0
Bought Attending when voted          L0 / $0         L0  / $0

All voters are supporting members.  Friends and Fiends who voted are
attending members.  Voters who pre-supported us get their L5 or $8 off.

(Chris missed off the voter-only $40 conversion and moved all the other
rates up a line.)

All our presupporters should have been mailed recently.  We should be
mailing to voters in about 3 weeks - the sheer task of keying 2600 names,
addresses and other details has delayed things more than we expected.

There may be more information in a few days - the link between most British
Internet sites and Compuserve seems to have been broken for the past ten
days, which is causing us problems.

I have not (personally) seen such a document, though it is consistent
with her political philosophies.  Further, I didn't say "don't do it".
I just noted that the material *is* copyrighted.  One can furhter note
that it may not be entirely up to Ms. Fish to permit it to be done
legally.  One would have to know the contents of any contracts
affecting the work as well.  Issues like assignment of copyright and
which rights have been assigned and which haven't been.

Absent any more specific data, it's pretty much up the conscience of
individuals--just so long as no one acts in a belief that Ms. Fish has
no say in the matter.

I'm not sure about something here. I thought if you all you did was
vote, then you were automatically a supporting member, but that you had
to pay more to become an attending member.  I know that all I did was
vote in the election. So what kind of member am I and when will I be

	Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it been pointed out several times
that Leslie Fish has given blanket permission for her lyrics to be sent over
the various computer networks. (I think it might have been subject to the
condition that her name remain attached to the work, but that's common
courtesy if nothing else.)

The following is for anyone going to Visions '92 in Chicago over
Thanksgiving weekend...

1>  If you're going, leave me a note with the hotel (Ramada O'Hare), and
we can meet for a soda or something!

2>  If you're a non-smoking male looking to share the cost of a room,
PLEASE leave a note at the Ramada for me, and leave me a way to contact
you.  I should have accomodations for at least 2 more folks.  (The rate
($65/night + 12% tax) would be split equally, at least 3 ways if I get
you too!)
