I thought the people on this list might like to know about a
          convention happening on President's Day Weekend (February
          16-18, 1991) in San Diego, CA. It's called

          CON/FUSION

          and will have a lot of neat stuff going on. We will have a
          dealer's room, an art show, programming (focused on SF,
          comics, art, and fannish topics), a film program, Japanese
          animation, parties, workshops, a Masquerade, and lots of
          other events.

          Guests of Honor: Tim Powers, author of The Drawing of the
          Dark, Dinner at Deviant's Palace, The Stress of Her Regard.
          etc. is the SF guest of honor. Steve Rude, artist of the
          Nexus series for First Comics, is the comics guest of honor.
          Jim and Doreen Webbert, well-known Arizona fans, are the Fan
          Guests of Honor. Other interesting people planning to attend
          include Marion Zimmer Bradley (her only con appearance this
          year, so far as I know), Vernor Vinge, Sheila Finch, Kelly
          Freas, Atanielle Noel, Jefferson Swycaffer, comic book
          artists Jim Lee, Trina Robbins, Kieron Dwyer, and many
          others.

          Location: The convention will take place at the Convention
          and Performing Arts Center and the Kingston Hotel, in
          downtown San Diego.

          Memberships: Full adult memberships are $35 at the door.
          one day memberships are $15 Sat & Sun, $10 Mon.
