    I like doing different things.  I remember fondly
going to listen to filkers at my first con -- in the
evening after the programming; and being introduced to
some games at a later con.  I think it would be nice to
have different aspects of the SF community at our
convention.  SF conventions are suppose to be FUN not a
writers' workshop.
   So to answer the question; we want to amuse people who
are interested in SF and games, SF and singing, SF and
films; SF and art. We need more people.
