The following events are drawn from a multitude of sources, each prone to
typos (not to mention my own), and places and dates have a way of changing
suddenly, so be sure to check with the convention committees before making
final plans. A SASE should be included in all inquiries to convention
committees. If you want to correct any errors, or submit additional

the boss, flogging dead horses, knifing friends in the back, dodging
responsibility and pushing their luck.
