Re: con in Toronto

Hey Phil - I think that would be too too cool if we could have our very own
UFO/GA thread in TO as part of Torcon 2003. I don't think the $100 for 4
days is expensive at all (I paid $25/day to go to a s-f con in Halifax 5 yrs
ago to see Marc Okrand and Majel Barret Roddenberry). The biggest expenses
by far would be travel, accommodations and food. And of course all the $$$
we'd spend in the dealers' rooms!! ha ha.

It would be a fannish gathering, a club meeting, not a separate track of the
convention.

How about it? Any Canadians here interested? Ciao - Pam

Well Im American but my new bride is a Canadian, a possibility we
might go, sounds like fun. Wonder if the Con would consider bringing
a cast member over? Not likely but if we showed enough support,
maybe? I know, a long shot but life is full of them.

Very Doubtful as their guest list, at least the guests their paying for, is
already set. This is more a planned get together of fans under the
umbrella of the bigger convention. As a fannish gathering or a meeting it
works. But the convention won't be swayed to bring any media people in
unless it's Joe Stracsynski who gets invited for his writing credits.

Hmmm, any UFO script writers living in Canada????? Or Space 1999 Script
writers. That might be worth looking into.

Seeing as this con is so very expensive ..... maybe we should just set
up our own meeting somewhere? Doesn't have to be a con to get together

I'm game. We could show videos on the big screen at Tang center here
at MIT. :-)

Yeah, I've met him. Some film exec, I believe. He has a bit of a cold
exterior, but can be quite nice once you get to know him. Especially
if you get caught with him in a life or death situation ....

Shaped a bit like an early seventies Corvette "Stingray", with
Gull-wing doors? Yep. I've been for a ride. Smooth. It has a turbine
engine, and British licence plates bearing the letters "IHTFP".

ttfn,
