| A. A gathering of people with an interest in science fiction, fantasy, and science. |
| A. Not so. A con is made up of people with all sorts of interests. Star Trek is just one of them. Most people go for one reason: to have a great time. |
| A. Whatever you like. Play games. Meet authors, editors, and artists. Watch SF movies and TV shows. See SF art. Hear panels on subjects from serious to silly. Attend the masquerade. Find neat stuff in the
dealers room. Party in the con suite. |
| A. A gathering place where you can make new friends. Featuring free soda, munchies, and good conversation, where science fiction is what you talk about after you've exhausted other subjects. |
| A. That wasn't a fan-run con. At Albacon, selling is a sideline, not our reason for being. You can enjoy the fun without even setting foot in the dealers room. |
| A. Plenty of great items, including books (new and used), T-shirts, buttons, art, magazine subscriptions, collectible card games, jewelry, and much more. But, again, you don't have to go there if you don't
want. |
| A. They may seem that way, at first glance, but most fans are very friendly and quite willing to talk to you about anything you want. SF cons have a reputation among hotels as being especially well-behaved.
Despite preconceptions, it is a safe and entertaining environment. |
| A. Compared to what? A movie's $8.50 for two hours of entertainment. Albacon is 2 1/2 days of nonstop fun (though things may slow up a bit after midnight). And you can save money by joining today instead of at
the door. |
| A. It's an opportunity to have a good time and to meet interesting people. The only downside is that you'll want to start looking for other cons to attend. Don't miss the fun. |
