     True, indeed.  This would make a TML convention/meeting rather
inconvenient for me, since I usually work Worldcons.  Takes care of my
Labor Day weekends, eh?

 >So...  if you want to meet other TML subscribers:

     I know of a better source for convention calendars.  I can post con
listings periodically (monthly?) if enough people would want it.

 >(2) Tell the TML where you going, so others going their can look for

     By all means.

 >WorldCon 91 is in Orlando.  '92 is probably off-shore (I forget);

     Not quite right.  The upcoming (1990) Worldcon is in the Netherlands.  The
next (1991) Worldcon is in Chicago (Chicon IV).  The 1992 Worldcon is in
Orlando, Florida (Magicon).  If anyone wants the contact addresses, let me know
and I'll post them.  Even if you only get a supporting membership (*much* less
expensive than an attending), you can still vote on the Hugos...  :-)

 >San Francisco and somewhere inthe south-west are in the running for '93.

     Yup.  Personally, I hope San Francisco gets it.  I think rather highly of
their bid.

     For those who live in the midwest, there's Marcon, starting  on 18 May.
I'm going to be there, and I'm usually pretty easy to find (look for the FidoNet
SF echo room party).
