Those of you who are going to ConStellation are probably aware by now that there is only one bidder for the 1985 Worldcon: Melbourne, Australia. Many of you are probably not aware that when the official decision is made in Baltimore, if the worldcon leaves North America, a site will be selected for a North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC) at the business meeting. The three bidders for the NASFiC are Detroit, Columbus, and Austin. Now I won't say I'm prejudiced, but if you want to know more about it, stop by the Austin-in-'85 suite at Connie and meet the people who stuffed File 770's poll with Official Austin Ballot Stuffing Ballots, see the Austin-in-'85 travelling roadshow in action, and hear about The First Triennial Lone Star Science Convention and Chilli Cookoff! -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas {ihnp4,ut-ngp}!ut-sally!jsq, jsq@utexas-780.ARPA (soon to be jsq@ut-sally.ARPA)
