Article 1025 of rec.arts.sf.fandom: From: hoey@AIC.NRL.Navy.Mil (Dan Hoey) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.fandom Subject: Beautifle Ohio Conventions in Collision Date: 1 Oct 92 16:46:11 GMT Sender: usenet@ra.nrl.navy.mil Organization: Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC Now that we all know the Ohio Valley Filk Fest is going to be in Worthington, OH the weekend of the 23rd, I thought you might be interested in a discovery I made at BSFS last weekend. If you refer to the OVFF vocally, careless listeners may think you're talking about the Out of Body Fan Fund, a service to underwrite the karmic debt of channeling your past lives to today's conventions. Are you ready for Smof-Ra? I'm afraid I'll be at Ditto/Octocon in Cincinnati that weekend, so I won't be able to let the filkers know of this important new discovery. Perhaps word will reach them, somehow. This does seem to be the year for cons in collision, though. Next month Sci-con is opposite Philcon, instead of their usual one week gap. I'll miss the one I miss. It used to be that time was nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. That's probably breaking down due to global warming and ozone pollution.
