Are there no science fiction fans in Ontario, or do we all just read
rec.arts.sf-lovers instead?

Not dead so much as dormant, I'd say. This group needs its direction to be better defined; the last time someone tried to start something in here, it turned into a reminiscence session and a Mr. Gameways Ark history... I asked last time, and never received an answer; is this newsgroup confining itself to discussion of Canadian authors only? Is it possible to discuss anything else? (If the answer to the latter is yes, the question on everyone's mind will be: What's rec.arts.sf-lovers for, then?) If these are not among the intentions behind the creation of this group, can someone please clarify what it is?

Mike, Apparently this group must be dead, until your newsitem, I didn't even know I was subscribed to this newsgroup! I must have subscribed about 3 months ago, and forgot because there was no news. Your news was article 728, I am going to try to read 727 and see what the date was on that one.

Let's face it, there won't be any significant Ontario Sci-fi until the Wilson budget is announced. In the meantime, let's all sit back and enjoy the flurry of responses this sorta posting usually generates. Actually, not to be too cynical, I'd like to know how many Ontarians out there collect/watch quality animation (No, I'm *not* talking Jetsons (gak!)! Akira, Rock and Rule, Night on Bald Mtn, The Man who Planted Trees. Do these mean anything to you?). Just want to get a feel for the demand. Is all. -- Mark Tilden: _-_-_-__--__--_ /(glitch!)

OK, here's what I've got: "May 13 (new date): WilfCon V at Wilfrid Laurier University, Kitchener, ON. Guests include Terence Green and Harry Kremer. Memberships are $3.50 preregister, $5.50 at the door. For more info, write to WilfCon V, c/o 6-69 Donald St., Kitchener, ON N2B 3G6" Wilfcon is only a one-day con. Ad Astra 9, mentioned in my previous message, runs for the full weekend.
