Announcing, a Science Fiction Convention: WindyCon IX (a holiday relaxicon) December 10-12 1982 $15 at the door Guests of Honor: Location: Frederik Pohl, Hyatt Lincolnwood Jack Williamson 4500 West Touhy Lincolnwood IL (312) 677-5400 WindyCon is normally a full-spectrum regional convention. However, since Chicago (and more importantly Chicago convention fandom) have just finished hosting the World Science Fiction Convention this year, we decided to try to decompress by throwing a big weekend party. Programming (sic) is minimal, no films, but oh, those all-night parties! An Art Show will allow artists to show off their best, and you can bid on the pieces at the Saturday night auction. The Huckster Room contains book and sf curiosity sellers, for your enlightenment and entertainment. Getting There: By car: Take either the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) or the Edens Expressway (I-94) to Touhy Avenue, and go east. The Hyatt Lincolnwood is a large purple building on the north (left) side of the street, about a mile east of the Edens. By public transport: Take the Howard-Jackson Park/Englewood transit line to Howard Street. From there take either the Route 290 or 291 NORTRAN bus (note - last bus leaves Howard Street at 10:30 p.m.) In addition, the hotel is arranging a shuttle service to the Howard Street Station (sorry, but I have no schedule on that. Call the hotel and ask). Come and enjoy a relaxing weekend with us crazies! Douglas Price Analysts International Corp. at BTL (Indian Hill) IL ...!ihps3!ihima!dhp (312) 979-4416
