I got my first communique just last week. It states that all guest who went
on last years cruise have verbally agreed to go again. They are: Majel Barrett
William Campbell, Denise Crosby, Robin Curtis, John DeLancie, Jimmy Doohan,
Walter Koenig, Mark Lenard, Nichelle Nichols, Gene Roddenberry, Marina Sirtis,
George Takei, Wil Wheaton, and Grace Lee Whitney. Confirmed are also Mike
Okuda (scenic artist for NG), Richard Arnold, and writers Ann Crispin, and
Jeanne Dillard, as well as David McDonnell (Starlog magazine editor), and
Arne Starr (DC Comics inker).
Everybody attending will receive a packet with autographs, as there will be
no autographs given during the event. The evening preceeding the cruise
(05/25/91) there will be a Gala dinner featuring the guests, and Mark Lenard
and Walter Koenig performing their new play "The Boys of Autumn".
The Cruise data:
date: 05/24 - 05/31 1991 Miami to Mexico (and return)
cost: depends, the cheapest rate is $695 per person in a two-people cabin
on the bottom of the boat (that's where I'll be). The Gala is extra (~$120
including staying in the hotel that night). Interested folks should sign up
ASAP, the cheap places on the boat fill up fast.
their new address: SeaTrek, c/o Devlin Associates, 1865 Brickell Ave., Box E,
Miami, FL 33129.
phones: 1-800-FAN-TREK
      or (305)858-5147 (in Miami)
	1-800-444-7447 (airfare inquiries only)
I attended last year's cruise and had a blast. I can wholeheartedly recommend
this event. They are also offering packages for after-cruise trips to Orlando
and other places.

>Convention: Creation Con
>Theme: "Star Trek Salute:
>Location: LA Hilton & Towers (at the airport), Los Angeles, CA
>Date: June 7-9, 1991
>Cost:

>Possible Guests:
>Information Contact: (516) SHOWMAN
>Misc. Information: Pre-assigned seating is being sold now!

The cost is $140 for the weekend. They announced at our con in Honolulu
on Oct. 13/14 that the entire TOS cast will be in attendance for this event.
I believe that pre-assigned seating is already sold out (they sold 900 of
those this past June at the LA con), and that even regular tickets are
running low. Judging by past LA cons, this should be fun but frenzied, and
forget about autographs. The dealers' room should be good for this one.
If you plan to attend, order your tickets by phone ASAP (credit cards ok).

If there are a number of netters attending either event, how about a
get-together?
