The following events are drawn from a multitude of sources, each prone
to typos (not to mention my own), and places and dates have a way of
changing suddenly; for those conventions advertising a media guest, the
appearance of those guests are usually subject to professional
committments. Be sure to check with the convention committees before
making final plans. A SASE should be included in all inquiries to
convention committees.
To correct any errors, or submit additional information, you may use the new
SF-Lovers Convention Submission Form at:
http://sflovers.rutgers.edu/Web/consform.html
or you may send e-mail to:
SF-LOVE...@RUTGERS.EDU. Mail sent to this address will not receive a
response but the information will appear in the next edition of this listing.
If you require a response to your message, please send a COPY to:
SF-Lover...@rutgers.edu. If you do not have an electronic flyer
available, flyers may be mailed to:

Passaic, NJ 07055
It is strongly recommended that information be mailed at
least 2 months prior to the convention.
This file was last updated on June 27, 1996. Corrections, additions or
other changes received after June 10, 1996 will be held for the next
update. These listings begin with June 28, 1996 conventions.

INTERNET INFORMATION
This list is designed for Internet users so all addresses presented
here is given in Internet format. To convert Internet email addresses
to individual pay service formats, use the following conversion:
Genie/AOL - These addresses are given here in the form
"user@[genie|aol].com". To send mail to a user on Genie
from a Genie account, strip off the "@" and anything that
follows. E.g. "s.sb...@genie.com" becomes just
"s.sbarsky" on Genie.
CompuServe (CIS) - CompuServe addresses are given here in
the form: "#.#@compuserve.com". To send mail to a user on
CompuServe from a CompuServe account, change the "#.#" to
"#,#" and strip off the "@" and anything that follows.
E.g. "74170...@compuserve.com becomes "74170,1324".
If your service provider is not listed here, and you cannot determine
the proper conversion to Internet format from the information given
here, please consult your local system administrator or help desk for
assistance.
Many conventions have recently begun to set-up World Wide Web (WWW)
pages with information online, often including registration forms. To
best access documents that have been provided on the Web, including this
listing, you need a Web client (i.e. Web browser) such as NCSA Mosaic or
Netscape. For best results, it is strongly recommend that you use the
latest version of your client software that is available. The URL
(Universal Resource Locator) information given here should enable you to
reach the home page for the convention and should work as given, barring
typos and accessibility problems. Please note that Web information can
go out of date very fast.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
As a general rule, most fan-run conventions have discount prices for
certain membership classes. For instance, many charge half price for
children ages 6-12 who are accompanied by an adult and allow younger
children "in tow" in for free. Many of these conventions also have
babysitting available for young children during the daytime so parents
can enjoy the convention.
It is also common to have "one-day only" memberships available for
Saturday and Sunday and, sometimes, Friday as well. These membership
rates are generally less than a full weekend membership but give equal
access to the convention for the one-day. Often, these memberships can
be converted to full memberships if one so chooses.
In the listings here, discounted children's and one-day memberships
are generally listed if known. Always be sure to check with the
committee to find out if there are any applicable discounts for
children, if babysitting care is available or if there are one-day rates
available if not listed.
It is also common for many conventions to have a "supporting"
membership available for a lesser rate. A "supporting" member normally
gets all of the same privileges as a full member gets, except the right
to attend the convention. Memberships can be upgraded to attending
memberships at any time, usually for the difference in price between the
attending membership rate and the then current full attending rate.
"Supporting" memberships are often a good way to show your support for a
convention group and to remain on their mailing list.
