This is the newly revised list of birthdays of Echosians here on the TREK
conference.  If you would like to be included or deleted from this list (new
member, selling computer, don't want the publicity, etc.) please send me your
name and birth date and I will be more than happy to attempt to meet your
wishes.  The list (in one form or another, updated restarted, etc.) will
continue until it looks to me to be unwanted.  Now, without any further

Three people is all there is.  Have been thinking of discontinuing.  I
restarted it again because I thought there were a lot of people on the list
that weren't here anymore (or, at least, I wasn't seeing any messages from
them).  Lack of interest will cause me to let it go to peaceful slumber (or
someone else taking it up).

Write your reply.

assistant: I've been in contact with one major Star Trek convention promoter, and he
feels that he cannot produce a show in the Dallas area without losing money.
Seems that the least expensive hotels in the area (near the DFW airport)
still charge waay too much $$ for the rooms necessary to have a decent
convention, and pay the guest, and still be under $20 per person per day
admittance.
  This is not to say that there might be other conventions in the DFW area,
but this is the feeling of one of the promoters that does conventions in the
southeast and Florida. :-(
  However, this same promoter informed me that he is seriously considering
doing something in the San Antonio area early next year. :-) I know that San
Antonio is not close to Dallas, but it's better than nothing! Stay tuned!

building my plastic models that B was the first movie one.
