| SF Conventional Calendar: Erwin S. Strauss |
|
Memorial Day is the year’s biggest weekend. All the general SF/fantasy events then are good bets
for Asimovians. Plan now for social weekends with your favorite SF authors, editors, artists, and
fellow fans. For an explanation of con(vention)s, a sample of SF folksongs, and info on fanzines
and clubs, send me an SASE (self-addressed, stamped #10 [business] envelope) at 10 Hill #22-
L, Newark NJ 07102. The hot line is (973) 242-5999. If a machine answers (with a list of the week’s
cons), leave a message and I’ll call back on my nickel. When writing cons, send an SASE. For free
listings, tell me of your con 5 months out. Look for me at cons behind the Filthy Pierre badge, playing
a musical keyboard. —Erwin S. Strauss
