Well, it's just tough to think of something science fiction oriented that is
'local'.  Well, okay, recently [last Friday] Tanya Huff was signing her
second book, "The Last Wizard", at Bakka in Toronto.  But then, that's not
science fiction, it's fantasy.

On more of a science fiction note, I want to go to Contraption '89 in
Detroit, where Mark and Evelyn Leeper are the Fan Guests of Honour [or
Honor, as they say down there].  However, I have a problem in that I don't
have a car and train service to the Detroit suburb it's in is spurious to
say the least.  So, anyone want to go?  If you've never been to a 'Con,
I'll even give you a bit of a guided tour.

Contraption takes place the weekend of May 5-7.
