*anguished yell*

Probably a lot of you aren't into science fiction and World Science Fiction
Conventions, but one of the best parties I attended at LACon last Labor Day
was the "Lake Wobegon in 1991" bid party, where Powdermilk Biscuits were
served, where we started to compile a list of science fiction films shy
people might like to see for the film program, where others started thinking
about good discussion panels and other programming we could have, where
people talked about their cats, and where we all sat around and listened to
The News with displaced Wobegonites from all around the country. I was
looking forward to another such evening this Labor Day at the North American
SF Con (Worldcon, alas, will be in Melbourne, Australia), "The First
Occasional Lone Star Convention and Chili Cook-Off" in, of all places,
Austin.

If there's anyone out there who remembers the BisCon bid party and would
like to continue to work toward that bid, and now to sympathsize with the
residents of Austin, let me know. Someone will have to remember to bring a
recording of old news.
