Summary: LosCon

The convention you are looking for is LosCon at the Los Angeles Airport
Marriott hotel over Thanksgiving weekend.  The cost is $25 until Nov.
15th (I think) and then $30 at the door.  The reg. fee can be sent to
LASFS and you can get more information from them and I think they can be
found in the phone book (they are in N. Hollywood).

There are other people who can get you the exact address but since I'm
going to SiliCon instead, I don't have the LosCon flyer handy.  Hope
this helps!

Re: Info on Windycon.

At-the-door reg is $30.00.  Room rates are something like $78.00 single/double,
$90.00 triple/quad, more expensive for suites, etc.

Getting to the con is easy.  Take your preferred route into downtown Chi-town.
Get on I-90 toward O'Hare (the signs will say Rockford, I believe).  Keep going
on 90 past the airport - you're now on the Northwest Highway (toll is $0.40
when you get on).  Take this to Route 53 North (approx. 8 miles).  Get off 53
on Algonquin Rd. (Route 62) - this will be very soon after getting on 53 - stay
in right lane.  Turn left at the light at the bottom of the ramp.  You will get
to a light (approx. 1.5 miles) with a bunch of fast-food places, esp. a Burger
King on the corner.  Turn right at this light.  Turn right again at the next
light (which should be Golf Road).  Go about 2 miles.  Just after you pass
under 53, the hotel will be immediately apparent on your right.

Hope this helps - good luck, and see you at the con!

BTW (plug,plug), the sysop of the board I'm posting this from will be having an
@! party, probably Sat. night - look for signs.

Subject: Possible T3 plot
Date: 9 Nov 92 16:28:03 GMT

I found this in a French magazine ('Video Sept' I think):

Terminator 3 opens with Sarah Connor waiting for Judgement Day and as
one might expect it doesn't occur. The world is saved and almost
everyone is happy. All except John Connor who will now not become a
world hero. Meanwhile, some technological firm (Cyberdyne, again, I
think) is finishing work on a T1000 prototype (don't ask me how). John
sees his chance, steals the prototype and creates an army of them
(again don't ask me how). Wanting nothing more than to be famous, he
plans to rule the world (or something like that).

N.B. This may not be true as the magazine wanted to know whether it's
readers believed the article. 

P.S. Would anyone in the Alien(s)(3) debate consider the Leading Edge
RPG "Aliens" as canon as it actually sorts out most of the queries
about the films e.g. ALL Aliens (excluding facehuggers) are capable of
laying eggs as long as they have consumed enough food.

P.P.S. Anyone heard about a Predator vs Aliens film yet?

Hello to anyone reading this at Stanford...

I'm wondering if there exists any sort of Science Fiction Society on campus.
I've checked at the OSA, and as far as I can tell, there isn't.  Could someone
please tell me if I'm right on this count?

And, if I am correct, and there is no organization for SF fans, would anybody
be interesting in starting and/or joining one?  I've been thinking about this
lately, and would like some support if I actually decide to start something
like this up.

(I'm hoping that I am wrong, since it seems rather disgraceful that a fine
institution like Stanford would lack some sort of SFS.)

Kewl. Actually, I haven't posted about it yet.  It's coming soon.  It'll
be in the /general, /announce and /party sigs, probably.  Anyways, this
isn't something to babble about here.

I found out that the end of the third floor my room is on is not part of the
party floor, supposedly....have to verify with Lamonte "We have a hotel" Jones..

If so, I guess I'll shut the door and stick a sign on it: "Friend of inferno
please knock" or something.  Heh.  oh well.

P.S. is this LunaticBruce who used to work at tower Mtn. View?

I've just made up a list of Powers' books to order next I go around to
the local bookshop, and then he is compared to Blaylock's _The Last Coin_.
I seriously hope that they aren't that similar! So far I've read _The Stress
of Her Regard_ and _The Last Coin_, and then decided not to waste any more
money on Blaylock. 

Is the comparison justified? Should I read _The Last Coin_ again? I might
have missed something important on the first way through, although I doubt
it. The pathetic null of a main characted seriously annoyed me.

Greetings,

|>_Why_ did you read the last 10 or so Gor novels?

How many are there?

10 reasons to read Gor novels:

10) They're like potato chips, you can stop with just one
9)  Stranded on a desert island with only a case of Gor novels
8)  You own shares in DAW books
7)  You've read everything else in the bookstore
6)  You are John Norman
5)  You like Gor Novels
4)  Used Gor novels are cheaper than Playboy
3)  It's better than studying physics
2)  You're in training for the Bulwer-Lytton contest
1)  You like soft porn sadism and your USENET feed doesn't get alt.sex.bondage
