Bring it to the convention sales manager. That will reserve your space. In the meantime, start trying to get guests.

Oh, and by the way, "HAILING FREQUENCIES" officially endorses STAR TREK '77 as the convention of the year, GO! YOU'LL ENJOY IT, AND YOU'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MOVIE!") (2)

It will called "HOW TO HOLD A PARTY FOR 12,000 of YOUR MOST INTIMATE FRIENDS." It will be the inside story of the original 5 conventions, and rumor has it that is will finally tell who is who, who isn't who, and best of, all, why. We don't know when it will be out, but it will probably arrive in time for the Bi-Centennial 10 Convention, September 3-6, 1976, in New York.") (2)

The movie opens in the great domed city, which I would not mind living in myself. Tubes stretching between the super-modern buildings are the transportation system, with little cars running through them. The pace of the movie is on where you would not want to leave the theatre for anything, with the exception of William Shatner being outside. But I can't tell you everything. Go see it for yourself, if you ever have the chance. You'll love it.") (4)
