Those of you who are going to ConStellation are probably aware by now
that there is only one bidder for the 1985 Worldcon:  Melbourne, Australia.
Many of you are probably not aware that when the official decision is
made in Baltimore, if the worldcon leaves North America, a site will
be selected for a North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC)
at the business meeting.

The three bidders for the NASFiC are Detroit, Columbus, and Austin.
Now I won't say I'm prejudiced, but if you want to know more about it,
stop by the Austin-in-'85 suite at Connie and meet the people who
stuffed File 770's poll with Official Austin Ballot Stuffing Ballots,
see the Austin-in-'85 travelling roadshow in action, and hear about
The First Triennial Lone Star Science Convention and Chilli Cookoff!
