trek-info@scam.Berkeley.EDU (Jim "The Big Dweeb" Griffith) (06/03/90)
First, a note. My contacts have informed me that Creation Con has
adopted a new policy whereby they are selling "preferred seating"
tickets at increased rates for all of their conventions. These tickets
entitle you to sit in the front five rows during guest speakers'
talks. The cost of these tickets may vary for different conventions,
so you should contact Creation Con for more information. It is not clear
whether or not this policy will be enforced at every convention - the
Sacramento Creation Con flyer made no mention of it, although the Fangoria
convention on the opposite page did.
SUBMITTING CONVENTION INFORMATION:
I will *not* post long, descriptive articles advertising conventions. They
take up too much bandwidth to be warranted. In order for a convention to
be listed here, it must have some obvious connection to Star Trek. For
instance, a comics convention is not acceptable, but one with Michael Dorn
as a guest speaker is.

It states that all guest who went on last years cruise have verbally agreed to go again. They are: Majel Barrett William Campbell, Denise Crosby, Robin Curtis, John DeLancie, Jimmy Doohan, Walter Koenig, Mark Lenard, Nichelle Nichols, Gene Roddenberry, Marina Sirtis, George Takei, Wil Wheaton, and Grace Lee Whitney. Confirmed are also Mike Okuda (scenic artist for NG), Richard Arnold, and writers Ann Crispin, and Jeanne Dillard, as well as David McDonnell (Starlog magazine editor), and Arne Starr (DC Comics inker). Everybody attending will receive a packet with autographs, as there will be no autographs given during the event. The evening preceeding the cruise (05/25/91) there will be a Gala dinner featuring the guests, and Mark Lenard and Walter Koenig performing their new play "The Boys of Autumn". The Cruise data: date: 05/24 - 05/31 1991 Miami to Mexico (and return) cost: depends, the cheapest rate is $695 per person in a two-people cabin on the bottom of the boat (that's where I'll be). The Gala is extra (~$120 including staying in the hotel that night). Interested folks should sign up ASAP, the cheap places on the boat fill up fast. their new address: SeaTrek, c/o Devlin Associates, 1865 Brickell Ave., Box E, Miami, FL 33129. phones: 1-800-FAN-TREK or (305)858-5147 (in Miami) 1-800-444-7447 (airfare inquiries only) I attended last year's cruise and had a blast. I can wholeheartedly recommend this event. They are also offering packages for after-cruise trips to Orlando and other places. >Convention: Creation Con >Theme: "Star Trek Salute: >Location: LA Hilton & Towers (at the airport), Los Angeles, CA >Date: June 7-9, 1991 >Cost: >Confirmed Guests: >Possible Guests: >Information Contact: (516) SHOWMAN >Misc. Information: Pre-assigned seating is being sold now! The cost is $140 for the weekend. They announced at our con in Honolulu on Oct. 13/14 that the entire TOS cast will be in attendance for this event. I believe that pre-assigned seating is already sold out (they sold 900 of those this past June at the LA con), and that even regular tickets are running low. Judging by past LA cons, this should be fun but frenzied, and forget about autographs. The dealers' room should be good for this one. If you plan to attend, order your tickets by phone ASAP (credit cards ok). If there are a number of netters attending either event, how about a get-together?
