X-Message-Number: 2390 Subject: CRYONICS: ALCOR AT WORLDCON 1993 From: Ben Best <> Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1993 00:23:00 -0400 In February or so I posted a CryoNet message urging cryonicists to take advantage of the marketing opportunity represented by the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in San Francisco on Labour Day Weekend of 1993. Possibly as the result of this urging, I was told that Charles Platt arranged a panel dealing with the subject of cryonics. I was also told by Lola McCrary that the Alcor Northern California group was considering getting a suite in the Party hotel. I attempted to reserve the largest room I could in the Party hotel as a back-up. In early August, the Northern California group decided not to get a suite (or could not get a suite), and requested that my room be used as a party room for Saturday night. I agreed. Steve Bridge and I are sharing a room in the Party hotel of Worldcon which will be used for an Alcor Party on the Saturday, September 4th (1993). Steve has agreed that this party can continue until 3 am Sunday morning. The Saturday evening party will be open to Worldcon members only. Another party, open only to cryonicists (who need not be Worldcon members) will be held on Sunday afternoon and evening in the room Steve and I are sharing. I believe that my agreement with Alcor Northern California is that this party be open to Alcor members only (rather than other cryonics organizations). I will not know what my room number will be until Thursday, September 2nd when I check-in (although I HAVE reserved SOME room). As soon as I check-in, I will relay the information concerning my room number to Lola McCrary. I assume that Lola will not object to passing this information to anyone interested. Her phone number is (408) 238-1318. We will also attempt to post this information around the Worldcon site. -- Ben Best (ben.best%) Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2390
