| SF Conventional Calendar: Erwin E. Strauss |
|
The big western meet of the year is coming up July 4th weekend
in Portland OR. 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, info on fanzines and
clubs, and how to get a later, longer list of cons, 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 6 months out. Look for
me at cons behind the Filthy Pierre badge, playing a musical keyboard.
