                        The 2nd Ever 47th Annual
			     MADFEST

Hello, and welcome to another year of Midwest juggling fun! This year
promises to be even better than the 47 previous MadFests.

Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 PM, Saturday, January 16th, 1993
      9:00 AM -  5:00 PM, Sunday, January 17th, 1993

Location : We will once again be in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union,
but this year we will have one more small room and hopefully another large
room in the same building. The Memorial Union is located at 800 Langdon St.
on the University of Wisconsin, Madison campus, and the Great Hall is on the
Fourth floor of the Union. See the map that we will send you if you write, 
phone, or email us.

Details :
Due to circumstance beyond our control, we must raise the price of registration
for this year's MadFest to a whopping $ 2. We are  sorry for any inconvenience
this may cause to you or your loved ones. But look at the bright side! We'll
have open juggling, workshops, demos, competitions, vendors, parties, a free
raffle and a public show PLUS the opportunity to visit Wisconsin during
what is expected to be the coldest winter ever. In addition, for the first
time in MadFest's illustrious history unicycles will be allowed. The University
however, is hypersensitive about its oh-so-precious floors, so no knives,
torches or anything else the University might not like. if you're in town
on the Friday night, January 15th and are looking for some people to hang out
with, call Matt and Mark and we'll tell you what's happening. Also, if you'd
like to perform in the Public Show, by all means let us know.

Lodging:
Quality floor space will of course be available. Reserve with Melonhead or
Mark and Matt. We advise you to call now, because space is limited and we'd
hate to make you sleep outside. For those of you who find the idea of
sleeping on the floor with a bunch of sweaty hairy jugglers a somewhat
repugnant idea, we have compiled a list of area lodgicalities. Several
agreed to reduced rates for convention-goers, so be sure to proclaim 
loudly "I'm here for the 2nd Ever 47th Annual MadFest Juggling Convention
sponsored by the Madison Area Jugglers!" All prices are for double occupancy;
our advice is to reserve a room soon.
