Oh, fer crying out loud!  Post the info already!  (*Grumble, grumble!*  I have
to do everything around here...!)


The following information was compiled from "the other Denverite who posts
from this site to this group regularly" (the story is true; the names have
been changed to protect the innocent).  Any mistakes are his.

(BTW, I am *NOT* the non Denverite going to the con--I can't afford it.  }B-(  )

FOOD: The food at the Holiday Inn is convienient and almost decently priced, 
but advice was given that it is not very good.  No other food places were 
suggested.

HOW TO GET THERE: Take I-70 to Chambers if you are driving (it is literally 
on the fringe of Denver...) or if you are flying in the hotel has a shuttle 
to and from the airport (call them to confirm).

GETTING RESERVATIONS: Call Holiday Inn's 1-800 number (1-800-HOLIDAY). 
The sooner the better--the hotel can fill up FAST!  (Probably already has.)

If you don't get a room, there is a cheaper hotel across the street or find 
someone with a room and space.

STARLAND'S Phone Number: In case you want to call them about anything is 
1-303-8735.
