PARTIES
Party Czar:
Kitty Jensen
[ street address deleted ]
Because the new hotel does not have a distinct Cabana Area, we will not be
directly booking rooms in a party area. However we strongly encourage anyone
who is holding an open party to request a room on a low floor. This will
hopefully save considerable wear and tear on both the Hotel's elevators and
the convention membership's nerves.
People who wish to receive information on local party stores or other party
information should contact the Party Czar.
CHILD CARE
Eva Whitley
[ street address deleted ]
Child care is available for children up to six years of age. It will cost
$25.00 per child. This fee must be paid and the child's registration sent in
before April 30, 1992 (make checks payable to DISCLAVE '92). The registration
information must include the child's age and any special requirements.
Expected hours are Noon to midnight on Friday, and 10 AM to midnight on both
Saturday and Sunday. Parents who are tardy in picking up their children by
closing time may have their child care privileges revoked by the babysitter.
HUXTER'S ROOM
Scott and Jane Dennis
[ street address deleted ]
Requests for Dealer's Information should go to Scott.

The stories included are:
HOME BY THE SEA
first published in A WHISPER OF BLOOD, edited by Ellen Datlow
DIRTY WORK
first published in BLOOD IS NOT ENOUGH, edited by Ellen Datlow (features
"Deadpan Allie", heroine of Cadigan's novel MINDPLAYERS)
DISPATCHES FROM THE REVOLUTION
first published in Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine
FIFTY WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ORGASM
first published in IASFM
"When you read Pat Cadigan's stories, you'll swear she's been 1) a psychopath
2) a pimp 3) a junkie 4) to Mars, because she can write so well of places you
don't EVER want to visit and people you NEVEREVEREVER want to meet. She isn't
any of those things; what she is is another typical beautiful genius foul-
mouthed Supermom from K.C. whose works cause me to bite holes in my desk every
time I read a new one." -- Howard Waldrop
"Pat Cadigan has a very dirty mind." -- Robert A. Heinlein
WEAPONS POLICY
- No weapons of any kind are permitted at DISCLAVE. Violators will have a
choice of having the offending weapon confiscated for the duration of the
convention, or surrendering their membership.
- Boom Boxes are considered weapons.
- The Committee reserves the right to be totally arbitrary in enforcing this
policy.
