	Sorry about that last message, I sorta messed up.
	OK, sf fans, here's a note I wish I could have posted earlier.
This coming weekend, the 19th through 21st, the 13th annual Fantasy
Faire is being help up in Fullerton at a place called Griswald's Inn.
	Fantasy Faire is usually a pretty relaxed convention.  Don't
go expecting fire works, but I've never been bored at one either.
Here is a partial (very) list of guests expected to be attending: Marion
Zimmer Bradley, Alan Cole, Dorothy Fontana, Steve Barnes, Stephen Goldin,
Paul Edwin Zimmer, and Fritz Leiber.  The last couple of times I've been
to a con at Griswald's Inn, I also seem to remember Larry Niven wandering
about.
	The convention will also have the usual other goings on, ie a film
schedule, wargamming, panels on this or the other, a costume contest, and
at least a couple of huxters rooms.  
	As fo the hotel itself, Griswald's Inn is at 1500 South Raymond, 
right off the Riverside (91) freeway.  The information phone for the
convention is (213) 337-7947, and the hotel phone is (714) 635-9000.
The hotel has a pool, a fairly good restuarant, and a security team
that usually lets the convention staff handle things.  I rather like the
place.
	The hours for scheduled events is Friday 1 pm to 9 pm, Saturday
9:30 am to 7 pm ( with films probably going much later), and Sunday from
9:30 am to 2 pm.  The cost is $15 for the entire weekend, which means
it will be around $7 or $8 for Saturday, and a bit less for Friday and
Sunday.  If you live far enough away, or for some other reason want to
stay at the hotel, the hotel has granted the convention members a special
rate of $40 a night whether you wants a single, double, quad or whatever.
This is good for splitting costs.  Me, I'm gonna comute.
	If I get any other news from the convention, I'll post it here
first chance I get.
