Yes. You're not Hallucinating. There will be a Buffy
convention in *Holland* next year. It's the first dutch
Buffy convention ever, so I'm guessing most of us dutch
regs will be attending. But hey, people from all over
the world are more than welcome (looks at Sieue and at
Mir (where the hell *is* Mir anyway ;-)), although Mir
might be a bit *too* far to make it worthwhile...)

Anyway, the info:

Destiny 2002
Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel conventie
24th - 26th May 2002
Hotel Zuiderduin
Zeeweg 52 Egmond aan Zee

What to expect at this convention:
Guests!
Q&A's
Autograph sessions
Thema parties
Fancy Dress party
Cocktail party (for the first 100 weekend
registrations)
Workshops
Video's
A lot of fans.

What will all of this be setting you back?
Weekendtickets are fl 125,- (Or 57,50 Euro after
January 1st)
Day tickets are fl 75,- (Or 35 Euro after January 1st)
Weekendticket for children up to 14 years: fl 70.-- (32
Euro after January 1st)
Day ticket for children up to 14 years: fl 40,-- (19
Euro after January 1st)
Children up to 14 years of age always need to be
accompanied by an adult.

Extra's
Other activities, besides those mentioned above, are
planned for this weekend.
There will be fotoshoots with the Guests and a
Celebirty Breakfast. Tickets for these activities will
go on sale at the convention itself and are *not*
included in the price of your convention ticket.

We regret to inform you that we can't anounce any
guests at this moment. We're still at the negotiation
stage and we obviously can't tell you *who* we're
negotiating with.

How do you get a ticket?
you can get your registrationform by sending an
envellope adressed to yourself plus 4 stamps to the
following adress:

Shanshu Events
Postbus 5042
4380 KA Vlissingen

De envellope will be used for the registrationform and
the stamps will be used to send you newsletters about
the event.

Registrationforms can also be requested through e-mail.
Send an e-mail with your name and adress to:

sha...@zeelandnet.nl.

Your registrationform will then be sent to you.

If you want to take a look at the Hotel you can point
your favorite browser towards:
http://www.zuiderduin.nl.

About the Hotelrooms:
You can reserve a Hotelroom with your ticket
registration. This possibility is on the
registrationform.
There are single and double rooms available. If you
choose a double, your roommate will be picked from the
other people that chose a double, unless you register
together with the person you want to share the room
with

The act of requesting the form does *not* mean that you
will *have* to register. Your registration will not be
complete untill we have your filled out form and your
payment.

That's the information so far.

I will be posting any and all updates as soon as they
become available to this group. I can tell you that I'm
excited. I know the people who are organising this
convention and I'm sure they'll put together a great
weekened...

See Ya,
George
Excited...

Wow! This sounds interesting.
Not that Holland is around the corner for me, but it'd sure beat
travelling to America... (as far as money, distance and time goes).

Of course. I'm hoping the people in charge will make an
anouncement list soon. Then everyone interested in
convention news can subscribe and hear it hot from the
press...

:-)

See Ya,

Exaggerating is also a profession...

Er is plek voor iedereen, denk ik.

Ow, I don't think they have a train station over there. I'll see if I can
find someone else in Groningen who'll go there ánd has a car.

I don't think I'll buy a ticket before I know at least *some* of the
guests. I don't think I'll go if only Danny Strong is coming. (Not that I
don't like Danny Strong, I'd really like it if he came! But I'd like some
bigger names to show up too.)

Hate to be nagging, but couldn't they have made the price a bit higher
iso this fooling around with stamps?

Is there a website for this convention? I know some people who might
be interessed in going, but they don't read this group.
