-
- EveCon has no relation to Creation Cons. It's sponsored by FanTek, a
- non-commercial SF/fantasy/gaming/etc. club in Fort Washington, Maryland.
- (FanTek also hosts CastleCons in the summer.)
-
- There will be a dealers' room, of course, but the con itself offers
- many things to do! From the flyer: "...there will be performances by
- comedy troupes. Learn to make Costumes. Then enter the MASQUERADE
- EXHIBITION Saturday night. Or learn How to Belly Dance....
-
- "SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY programs ranging from Current Space Topics to
- Local Reforestation.... Talks on Modern and Ancient warfare, FUTURE
- WEAPONS .... A New TECH track of programs, featuring the latest in
- ELECTRONIC TOYS. But that's not all! .... Our ART SHOW is run by and
- for the attending artists....
-
- "And don't forget to attend the DANCE on Saturday night, not to mention
- the ten billion other events going on. No, sorry, no ginsu knives in this
- offer, but hey, we do have some very nice chocolate in the Con Suite...."
