                           LUCON-tinued
                           ============
     A Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention at Leeds University.


Greetings,

    Some of you may already have heard of Lucontinued, probably
Novacon last term. For those of you who haven't received flyers this
is the sequel to LUCON (Leeds '88) and is being held ostensibly on
24th February 1990 with some events for the early arrivers on Friday
night, including a film, and some on Sunday for the hardy.

    The venue is Leeds University Union and the cost is currently
three pounds supporting and six attending with conversion always three
pounds.

Quoting The Two Ronnies we have a packed programme, including:

    Whose Heinlein is it anyway, in which panelists contact the
    other side and give you the update on dead authors new books and
    answer questions from the audience.

    From Elfland to Headingley: Fantasy and Magic; a talk by our
    Guest of Honour, Michael Scott Rohan, author of The Winter of the
    World Trilogy.

    And Alien Cocktails; What does the fashionable SF hero drink?
    Some of our resident alcoholics show us the real Pan Galactic Gargle
    Blaster.

Right, enough of giving the ideas away, if you want more information
reply on email or write to the chair-entity,

                      Ian Creasey,
                      20 Meadow View,
                      Headingley,
                      LEEDS,
                      ENGLAND.

                      Yours faithfully,
                           Zaphod,
                           (alias A.A.Adams,
                            For The Lucon committee)
