| PUWAG (Pure, Unadulterated Wild-*ssed Guess) -- If enough people
vote Holland 1990, then it (some city in the Netherlands) will be
the site for (probably) the 1990 World SF Convention. How'd I do?

520.3 | A bit of clarification | VAXRT::CANNOY | The seasons change and so do I. | Tue Aug 25 1987 14:27 | 13 |
| The base note is asking that people attending the World Science Fiction
Convention (Worldcon) in Brighton, England (starts tomorrow) vote for
Holland to host the 1990 Worldcon. Holland and Los Angelos are both
bidding to hold the Worldcon for 1990. Voting takes place at the
Worldcon held 3 years prior to the year being voted on.
If you are already a member, then you received a ballot in the mail.
You can vote by mail, or in person at the convention if you're
attending.
Hope this helps clear things up.

| WHO WILL VISIT DISNEYLAND WHEN HE'sGOING TO A WORLDCON???????
IN HOLLAND, DEN HAAG (s'GRAVENHAGE) HAS BEEN CHOSEN FOR THE WORLDCON.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CITY AT THE COAST OF HOLLAND, AND IS A
INTERNATIONAL MEETING CENTRE WHITH ALL THING BELONGING TO IT.
THE CONVENTION WILL BE HELD IN THE CONGRES-CENTRE WICH HAS A LOT
OF EXPERIENCE WITH CONVENTIONS AND IS REALLY SUITTED FOR IT.
IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING ELSE TO DO (I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT), YOU CAN
GO TO THE BEACH OR TO ATTRACTIONPARK DUINREL CLOSE TO IT.
IN DEN HAAG THE ARE A LOT OF SPECIAL RESTAURANTS WICH SERVE A
GREAT VARIETY OF FOOD, SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY!
LATER I WILL TELL MORE ABOUT THE WORLDCON IN HOLLAND
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT ME AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER

520.7 | some people just can't speak softly | INK::KALLIS | Never mind. Taken care of. | Thu Aug 27 1987 11:31 | 3 |

520.8 | Vote for Los Angeles, its closer to me. | WCSM::PURMAL | I'm a party vegetable. PARTY HARDLY! | Thu Aug 27 1987 15:35 | 4 |
| I'll lobby for a vote for Los Angeles because it's only 400
miles away from home as opposed to over 4000.

| re:.5
No one will go to Disneyland *while* they are attending Worldcon,
they'll go before or after. A lot of my friends are taking 2-3
weeks vacation right now to travel around England before and/or
after the Worldcon.
re:.8
Many fans I know are likely to vote for non-US Worldcon bids because
they use the Worldcon as an excuse or impetus for some foreign
travel.

520.10 | I vote for Holland | HLIS07::FOKKENROOD | | Fri Aug 28 1987 06:07 | 11 |
| sorry for the capitals, the terminal is default set to capitals
for other application.
Everbody in Brighton, have fun. I wish I could join you.
But Holland is the best vote.
The people organizing it have a lot of expirience with congresses.
The organize every other year the world famous BENELUX-con's
So let's all vote for Holland.
