I'll try to find an up-to-date contact and post it here (unless someone beats

mentioned who was taking over).

Worldcon Attendees,

	Since I live in the Chicago area I would love to join in/help out
with any group parties/gatherings/whatever...

	Being new to Chicago as well as DEC I'm not going to be able to provide
much information-wise but I learn quick and would be happy to be the focal point
for some gathering or other if needed.

	See you next year in the city.

Andrea

    Which Hyatt Regency?  There are three in Chicago, and the main
    reservations number has no record of a worldcon, or Chicon... Any idea
    if there are any rooms left?

If you want to register for the convention, I believe that the address for
registration (in Ohio) is still good.  The address for other convention
functions, however, is the Chicago box, and has been since the beginning,
to the best of my knowledge.

They probably have something on CompuServe, and there is a topic on GEnie
where you can leave notes, though the latter is not terribly responsive.
In fact, "not terribly responsive" seems to be the watchword.  For example,
as of the middle of last week, probable Hugo nominees had not yet been
contacted by the committee to see if they wanted their works on the ballot;
rumor had it that nominees were being contacted by mail, and furthermore,
the concom was using an outdated address list.  This means that the Hugo
ballots can't have been made up yet, much less mailed, and the typical 
deadline for getting same in is July 1, less than two months away.  Sounds 
like a major snafu to me.

The main con hotel is the Chicago Hyatt Regency, on the corner of North
Michigan and East Wacker.  As I recall, the rates were surprisingly
reasonable -- for some reason the figure $79/night single/double sticks
to mind, though it looks too low for a major city convention when I type it.
There were a couple of nearby hotels that were a little cheaper, too, as I
recall.  You do have to go through the convention itself to reserve
a room at the con rates -- you can't go to the hotel directly, and especially
can't go through the 800 number, which has never heard of Chicon.

    Thanks for the info!
    
    I called the Chicago Hyatt (312-565-1234), and talked to someone in
    Reservations (they're only there 9-5 or some permutation thereof). The
    room rate is $70/night for single/double, but they are all out of
    "double-doubles"; they still have doubles with king-size beds, so my SO
    and I are all set.
    
    Is there going to be a DEC party at this year's Worldcon?
    
    Thanks,

    Hi
    
    So Who is going? I am. So is anybody going to have a party or what?
    
    Jw
    

    Well, my wife Kim and I will be there (in matching flight suits if it's
    not too hot), so we're up for a party if one happens.  We're going to
    try to get over to the Battletech place and play a couple rounds of
    their virtual reality game, has anyone been there and if so how is it?
    
    Willie

My wife Chris Willrich will be in the art show.  We'll be in general 
carrying our daughter in our Gerry Pack so we should be recognizable :-)

I think I was volunteered into a panel on mobile robots thursday too...

peaceful jade,
--richard

>I think I was volunteered into a panel on mobile robots thursday too...
    
    Hey, that's one I'm definately going to!  Too bad we're flying and I
    can't bring my teleoperated vehicles...
    
    BTW:  Is there a list of panels yet or do we get that when we register?
    
    Willie

probably at the filking, mainly, and sleeping during the days, except for a
visit to the huckster's room.

My wife will be displaying art in the art show.

Staying at the Hyatt; that's the main hotel.  Regretably, I can't offer a site
to hold a party, but will most likely attend one if I find out about it.

Organization: The Internet
 
    Members of the British Interplanetary Society will present an
 
                   ADVANCED SPACE SYSTEMS SEMINAR
                        and Technical Gabfest
 
                      Friday, 30 August 1991
                               9:00 PM
               at the World Science Fiction Convention
                     Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel
                       Chicago, Illinois, USA
                           Buckingham Room
 
                          Kickoff Speakers:
           Henry Vanderbilt-- Status of SSTO Projects
    Dr. Geoffrey Landis-- New and Improved Solar Power Satellites
 
If you attend this informal gathering, be prepared for intensive
tech-talk.  It's a chance to kick around favorite ideas about launch
vehicles, advanced propulsion, missions, support systems, SETI, the
Soviets, or whatever else is on your mind-- the kind of stuff BIS
members have been doing for almost sixty years.  And you'll also be
able to meet some folks who are working on astronautics projects and
hear what they're up to. 
 
Quite a few British Interplanetary Society members show up at
Worldcon, and it's an opportunity for North American members to
socialize together.  The BIS is one of the world's oldest spaceflight
societies (founded in 1933) as well as one of the most forward-looking
(Moonship design published 1939, Daedalus starship design 1978). We've
done this party four times now (three times under the BIS aegis), and
it's always fun. 
 
I'd appreciate hearing from you over the net if you think you might
come.  Chicago-area space folks are welcome to this affair  even if
you aren't attending the convention.

I thought you folks would like to know how the Chicago Worldcon is
coming along.
 
The Chicon V program plan was "frozen" last week.  We now know which
people we're asking to speak on which panels.  There are Literary,
Art, Science, Academic, Fan, and Cities tracks, as well as readings,
autograph sessions, and writers' workshops.  
 
In my piece of the convention, science and technology, there are about
90 hours of programming.  
 
Letters to program participants, giving proposed schedules, were
mailed last Monday.  I'm trying to catch up on sleep a little now.
 
Please continue to spread rumors that City-Of-The-Big-Shoulderscon
Five will be "worse than Nolacon."  If I turn in even a mediocre
performance, I'll look like a hero... (-:
 
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I, W. Skeffington Higgins, reserve the right to
ignore e-mail messages irrelevant to my work on the program.  This is
not rudeness, just exhaustion.  People are asking about anime
schedules and airlines and all sorts of stuff.  I'd like to help,
really I would, but I need my time to Do What Needs To Be Done.

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for Thursday's Main Programming Tracks (including
the film program) as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is as
accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, please check the back of your
registration badge for the most up-to-date information.  The Green
Room staff will be able to assist you with any questions.  We
appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon, and the help
you've given us in designing our program.  Please remember to visit
the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the event you're scheduled
for to meet fellow panelists, load slides, and so forth.  It eases our
minds considerably when we know all the panelists are present and
ready to start!
 
I have added to the "raw" schedules brief descriptions of the
science-track items.  (As the Science Guy, I had them readily to
hand.)  Please spread the word to any science panelists you know that
these blurbs are available.
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

When you build your fiction around science, you're taking a risk.
Which classic SF tales have become obsolete as new scientific results

Zeppelins (and other types of airship) seem to hold a special appeal
for SF people.  We examine airships of the imagination, from Verne and
Kipling  to the present.

You love those galaxy-spanning tales of adventure.  Here's the
science.  The geography of stars, planets, gas clouds; the physics
behind the colossal weapons of superscience; the chemistry and biology
of exotic alien landscapes.  And more.

Greetings, scientists.  "Crosswired" means we'd like to hear you  talk
about science books-- but only books OUTSIDE your own field.  Favorite 
biology books of astronomers.  Favorite physics books of
mathematicians.   That sort of thing.  Got it?  Good.

Our fiction offers two images of the hacker: One is a benign wizard
who is hip to a mysterious world closed to ordinary people, who can
quickly get computers to give you what you need.  The other meddles,
using arcane knowledge to exploit the vulnerability of your
complicated computer-dependent systems.  Why are we fascinated by the
image of the hacker?  Why do we have deeply divided feelings about
him?

Americans spent without limit to reach the Moon in eight years; the
Soviets fell behind, tested some lunar hardware, but abandoned the
quest and turned to space stations.  Did we take a wrong turn?  When? 
Could we have had spaceflight superior to Shuttle, Soyuz, and Mir,
without spending much more?

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for Friday's Main Programming Tracks (including
the film program) as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is as
accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, please check the back of your
registration badge for the most up-to-date information.  The Green
Room staff will be able to assist you with any questions.  We
appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon, and the help
you've given us in designing our program.  Please remember to visit
the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the event you're scheduled
for to meet fellow panelists, load slides, and so forth.  It eases our
minds considerably when we know all the panelists are present and
ready to start!
 
I have added to the "raw" schedules brief descriptions of the
science-track items.  (As the Science Guy, I had them readily to
hand.)  Please spread the word to any science panelists you know that
these blurbs are available.
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

Hey, here's a tired SF gimmick: pouring the contents of your brain
into a computer, and maybe back again.  Backup copies?  Robot
duplicates?   How could this really be done?  How close is science to
doing it?  Or is it  impossible nonsense?

serve a real need?  How does this issue illuminate the choices we make

Nanotechnology has caused a stir in SF circles.  Our ability to 
manipulate matter, perhaps even individual atoms, may allow us to
build tiny machines halfway between robots and germs that reproduce
themselves and do our bidding.  Tantalizing possibilities: build
anything, make everyone rich,  attack disease, raise the dead.

Computers and networks make some old crimes easier, some harder, and
also make some totally new crimes possible.  How to protect against
infocrime? How to enforce laws against it?  Policies we make today may
set precedents for generations to come.  How can we make wise
decisions?

It takes a mighty big chemical rocket to put a mighty small payload
into space.  Can we replace them?  What about coilguns, laser
launchers, nukes,  skyhooks, or beanstalks?  Or methods even more
exotic?

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have proposed  a
series of ventures into space using "old" technologies and lightweight
materials. The Livermore approach produces a slender thread of
facilities from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to Mars. Each step provides a
toehold for colonies bo build from and at the same time make economic
exploration of the solar system a real posibility.

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for Saturday's Main Programming Tracks (including
the film program) as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is as
accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, please check the back of your
registration badge for the most up-to-date information.  The Green
Room staff will be able to assist you with any questions.  We
appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon, and the help
you've given us in designing our program.  Please remember to visit
the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the event you're scheduled
for to meet fellow panelists, load slides, and so forth.  It eases our
minds considerably when we know all the panelists are present and
ready to start!
 
I have added to the "raw" schedules brief descriptions of the
science-track items.  (As the Science Guy, I had them readily to
hand.)  Please spread the word to any science panelists you know that
these blurbs are available.
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

Every one of us is going to die.  Death is by definition an integral
part of life.  Yet much science fiction concerns running away from or
denying  death.  Meanwhile, with extraordinary medical techniques and
equipment, the world of death is becoming more science-fictional. We
explore the relationship.

Finally, FINALLY the U.S. government is starting to notice the
threadbare state of our science education.  How can we do better?  Can
we  play a role in our own communities?  What sort of science teaching
works in  other countries?  Where do corporations, museums, media fit
in?

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for Sunday's Main Programming Tracks (including
the film program) as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is as
accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, please check the back of your
registration badge for the most up-to-date information.  The Green
Room staff will be able to assist you with any questions.  We
appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon, and the help
you've given us in designing our program.  Please remember to visit
the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the event you're scheduled
for to meet fellow panelists, load slides, and so forth.  It eases our
minds considerably when we know all the panelists are present and
ready to start!
 
I have added to the "raw" schedules brief descriptions of the
science-track items.  (As the Science Guy, I had them readily to
hand.)  Please spread the word to any science panelists you know that
these blurbs are available.
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

How does SF stack up when it deals with the biological sciences?

As raw computer power becomes available to scientists, some hard 
problems can be licked; other problems run away too fast.  Ill-behaved
problems may fall to trial and error.  Very complex simulations become
possible.  Can fundamental discoveries be made inside very big, very
fast machines?  And where will faster performance come from?

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for Monday's Main Programming Tracks (including
the film program) as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is as
accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, please check the back of your
registration badge for the most up-to-date information.  The Green
Room staff will be able to assist you with any questions.  We
appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon, and the help
you've given us in designing our program.  Please remember to visit
the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the event you're scheduled
for to meet fellow panelists, load slides, and so forth.  It eases our
minds considerably when we know all the panelists are present and
ready to start!
 
I have added to the "raw" schedules brief descriptions of the
science-track items.  (As the Science Guy, I had them readily to
hand.)  Please spread the word to any science panelists you know that
these blurbs are available.
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

Standing opposed to the armies of astrologers, crystal healers,
psychics, and other purveyors of pseudoscience are but a few
"skeptics." What do they stand for?  Can they bring about
enlightenment in a world filled with nonsense?  Or are they just

The complexity of the (almost) 21st-century world allows for a myriad 
of wonderful products and services.  But it is vulnerable.  Crime.
"Soft" warfare.  Outlaw political activism.  "Low-intensity conflict." 
Ecosabotage.  What new shape will these take in a heavily networked
world?

Existing technology and its effect on the imagination of the SF
writer. Writers of the 20's were excited by trains, planes, and
automobiles; the influence lingers on today's writers. Perhaps the
original fire from these machines set the course of our current
fictional technologies.  Are we stuck in technoruts  that began as
train-grooves, car-grooves, plane-grooves?  (Mainframe-grooves?
Rocket-grooves?)

Tinkering with genes is beginning to be a routine matter.  These
techniques open up exciting, and perhaps frightening, new vistas for
the modification of living creatures.  How does genetic engineering
work?  What's  possible?  What's impossible?  And how will we deal
with the legal, ethical,  and economic problems that arise?

 Science -     World-Building Panel? Hell, Why Not Build A Whole Solar System? -

You can't have a Worldcon without having a world-building panel.
Designing planets is part of the work that earns an SF writer's bread
and butter.  How is it done? From the parent star down, or from the
alien critters up?  What about a family of planets in a solar system? 
World-builders share their secrets.

Decades ago, C.P. Snow defined the "Two Cultures" of technical
intellectuals and literary intellectuals.  The split is still with us. 
How does it influence our fantasy and science fiction?  What works,
what authors manage to bridge the gap?  What works or authors make it
deeper?

Most jobs are specialized, but a few people must bring together 
knowledge across a wide range of disciplines.  Where is this kind of
work required?  What talents does it take?  What kind of training?

Our privacy may be at risk from monolithic government surveillance,
but it's under far more frequent assault from a multitude of private
and commercial snoopers-- credit bureaus, insurance companies,
junkmailers, employers, and others.  How has this come about?  Does
the Information Age provide us new weapons for fighting back?

Vernor Vinge suggested that the increase of knowledge and innovation
will go ever faster until civilization suddenly breaks through into an
unguessable new state.  Is this inevitable?  Are there forces that
will slow progress down?  Or will new pressures always arise to
increase the pace of change?

What role does scientific knowledge play in telling a good fantasy
story?  How do fantasy writers use science?  (Our Science Guy wanted
desperately to have a science panel dealing with straight fantasy...)

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
George Fergus, Chicago video maven, has lined up a "Science Fiction 
on TV Retrospective"  which will attempt to show episodes of every SF
television show ever appearing on U.S. television (with a good deal of
Canadian and British material thrown in.)
 
Here is the schedule for the SF on TV Retrospective as it will appear
in the Pocket Program.  It is as accurate as we could make it, but NOT
UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.

Chicon V, the 49th World Science Fiction Convention, will be held 29
August through 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel and the
Swissotel in Chicago, Illinois, USA.  
 
Here is the schedule for  Writers' Workshops and Discussion Groups
meeting with authors as it will appear in the Pocket Program.  It is
as accurate as we could make it, but NOT UTTERLY FINAL.  We may still
make a few changes to the schedule.  
 
If you are attending, check the Chicon daily newsletter for
information on program changes.  
 
IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL SCHEDULED FOR A DISCUSSION GROUP,  please
check the back of your registration badge for the most up-to-date
information.  The Green Room staff will be able to assist you with any
questions.  We appreciate your willingness to participate in Chicon,
and the help you've given us in designing our program.  Please
remember to visit the Green Room at least 20 minutes prior to the
event you're scheduled for. It eases our minds considerably when we
know all the authors are present and ready to start!
 
I regret that because of our pre-con workload, we may not be
able to answer e-mail inquiries about the convention.  I also
apologize that some of the lines are rather wide and may wrap around
on your screen or fall into your printer's bit-bucket.
 
I hope you'll find this schedule useful in planning your weekend at
Hog-Butcher-For-The-Worldcon Five.  Thanks go especially to Rick Waterson
for providing the information in a timely fashion.
