assistant: This notice for anyone within a few hours drive of Washington DC.
     On Saturday November 23 the Animation Art Collector's Club of Washington
will be holding its 9th Annual FREE Animation Art Show and Sale.  Last year
we had 46 tables with exhibitors from as far North as Connecticut and as far
South as South Carolina. As of last week all but three tables were sold.
     The show is over 90% Animation Art.  This includes
production, limited  edition, and seri cels.  It also includes drawings,
backgrounds, lithos, prints and other artwork.  Less than 10% is books,
jewelry, and related items.  There are no toys, games, or plush.
     Close to 50% of the items are Disney.  There will be at least two
animators present and a raffle for various
items (unknown at this time, but in the past the raffle has included cels,
books, glasses set, and other items).  Also there will be speakers.
     The show is open to the public from 10:00 to 4:00.  It will be at the
Howard Johnson Hotel, 5821 Richmond Highway,
Alexandria, Virginia.  This is at the Southeast corner of the intersection of
US-1 and the Capital Beltway (I- 95/I-495).  This is the first interchange
coming from Maryland, or the last interchange on your way out of Virginia
headed North on I-95.
    If you want to stay overnight (Friday or Saturday) the hotel has a
special rate of $59 plus tax.  Call 703-684-7200
for reservations and tell them you are there for the AACCW show.

assistant: Yoo Hoo, Fidonet Disney EchoEARS!
Today (November 18) is the 68th anniversary of the premiere of the Disney
short cartoon "Steamboat Willie".  In that cartoon the Disney characters
of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were introduced to the world.  The success of
"Steamboat Willie" and the popularity of Mickey Mouse spawned hundreds of
other Disney cartoon shorts, feature length animated films, theme parks,
TV shows, and what eventually became a worldwide entertainment leader in
corporations, The Walt Disney Company.  Thank you Walt Disney and all the
staff of Disney today for bringing us the magic and delight of Mickey
Mouse and all that followed.  Happy birthday, Mickey & Minnie Mouse!

there are good reason for bashing anime!)
   I'm just TOO sick of hear about how Sailor Moon sucks.  Why?  Tell me, why
does it suck?  The usual answer is "It just does."  Or the ever popular "It's
so cheesy."  I think they should sit back and take a goo d long look at what
they're watching.  Probably something equally as cheesy as they think Sailor
Moon is.  Makes me sick, when people are so narrowminded.
   Sorry, but I had to vent.

user: You are replying to All about "Lowest Price Car Rentals Ever".

Write your reply.

assistant: The following is taken from the November 1996 issue of
"Recreation News", the publication of the League of Federal Recreation
Associations.  I have not checked on the accuracy of this report, but based
on my experience with this publication it is probably true and accurate.
     "To induce you to help move its fleet of cars south to Florida for the
winter, National Car Rental offers a "Great Florida Drive In" one-way rate of
$9.95 per day for a mid-size or full-size car or minivan, with unlimited
mileage -- and no drop off charge!
     The only hitch is that you've got to pick up a car in one of 61 National
locations from New England through Washington, D.C.,Maryland, Virginia, the
Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Georgia and drop it off at any one of 20 locations in Florida. You must
complete your trip within 14 days between Oct. 15 and Dec. 12.
     The return home?  Well, you're on your own.  Still
interested?  Call 800-227-7368, ask for rate code FLDR."
     (Mike talking again)
     It may be too late to take advantage of this program this year.
However, it is not a bad idea to consider for the future. Also, there will
probably be a time in the Spring when they will have a similar program to
bring cars up North.  There might be a circumstance with low walk-up
(one-way) air fares or possibly low rail fares where this would be a real
bargain.
     Also, the other (major) car rental firms might be doing something
similar, it might not be a bad idea to check with them.
