Hi there,

I picked up some $3 discount coupons to "Trek Con '92", being held
this weekend (Aug 14th to 16th) at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza, 
Rockville, MD.  These discount tickets did NOT indicate the general
admission price, or the featured guest, so I called and asked both
the Trek Con # (I forget it, sorry) and the hotel.

The price is $37.50 for the weekend, and according to the hotel (the
other number was just a recording), they are NOT selling daily passes.
I was hoping to go for one day, and pay ~$8-10 but I do NOT want to
go for the whole weekend, or pay $37.50 for one day.

Does anyone have the *real* scoop on this con, and know if I can get
a one-day pass?  Also, would I have to have a pass to get in to just
the vendor area?

Thanks, Russ Fink
PS: the featured guest is James Doohan (Scotty) and a bunch of other nameless
names.  Oh, the editor of Starlog magazine is going to be there, or something.
