"Come join us for four days of Tattoo Tour Extravaganza at the Town &
Country Hotel, San Diego!!!"

"San Diego was the beginning of a great tradition: The Tattoo Tour
Convention. Now, due to overwhelming demand, we're back to celebrate
in the town where it all began! Since so many people were turned away
at the '93 sellout show, the Tour will hold the San Diego '94
convention at the old San Diego Convention Center - much larger than
before!!!

"The Town & Country Hotel, located in dyhamic Mission Valley, is
istuated on 32 beautifully land-scaped acres. A self-proclaimed "city
within a city," the Town & Country offers ranch-style garden rooms and
penthouse suites, four swimming pools, barber and beauty services,
in-room movies, valet, room service, and complimentary morning paper.

"For your dining pleasure, the Town & Country has four restaurants to
choose from. Enjoy convenient and satisfying family dining at the
Lanai Coffee Shop or Cafe Potpourri. There's also the cozy warmth of
Kelly's Restaurant & Irish Pub or a San Diego favorite, the Gourmet
Room. For an evening's entertainment of music and dancing, there's the
live music of Le Pavillon Lounge or you can sing along with the lively
piano bar at Kelly's. Either way, there's plenty to do at the Town &
Country!

"With their central location, the Town & Country gives you easy access
to the charms and sights of San Diego, with many attractions only
minutes away. The San Diego Zoo. Sea World. Balboa Park. Mission Bay.
Old Town. The best of San Diego is at hand when you stay at the Town &
Country. So don't miss out on a great show and a great town. Register
today!!!
