From: Nessus at MIT-EECS at MIT-MC (Doug Alan) I sent away for my ConStellation WorldCon membership a while ago. I received a Hugo ballot and a letter saying that my membership is being processed and that I would receive information about hotels later. But I never received any more information nor a membership card. Would anyone be willing to send me some information telling me how I can find a hotel room somewhere near the convention (or if indeed I still can), and how I can get from the train station and/or the Baltimore Maryland airport to the convention. Thank you very much! -Doug Alan Nessus@MC decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!nessus -------

A previous message stated: > If you are going to be at L.A.Con and want more information on > location and time, send your electronic mail address to: > > SF-LOVERS-PARTY-REQUESTS@MIT-MC I'm sorry, but I can't seen to send mail to an ARPA address. If anyone knows how, I would like to find out. In the meantime, yes I will be there so please add me to the lists. For some actual net-worthy comments: Is there going to be a computer room at worldcon (c'mon, there must be). If so, is there any way we can get a tie-in to usenet? A modem to a mainframe or perhaps a real micro like Lauren's running unix? What hard materials should be brought? Some ideas are: ------- For us experienced netters: a complete transcript of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Net hard copies of some of the best of net.jokes bibliographies and samples of good computer SF floppy disks (for people with personal computers) with your favorite programs for gift or trade maps to the net (is there a real US map with the links shown geographically?) ------- For the novices, at the party or in the computer room all of the above listings of all the subject categories, net.* instructions on using readnews, vnews, or whatever is being run sample articles or controversies from some of the largest newsgroups (sf-lovers, micro, flame, etc) statistics on the number of messages and data flow through the net daily Well, those are some ideas. Let me know if I can help. Waiting for WorldCon, Jay Parks (decvax!hao!ihnp4!seismo)!noao!parks :uucp Kitt Peak National Observatory :U.S. Snail 950 N. Cherry, Tucson, AZ 85726
