MAKIN' BAYCON ISSUE 1:
FRIDAY MORNING

Welcome to BayCon '95!

Welcome to BayCon, the Bay Area's premier science fiction convention, and one of the largest in the United States. You're holding Makin' BayCon, the official newsletter of BayCon. We'll be here with program changes, party notices and reviews, announcements and news twice daily on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with a wrap-up issue on Monday morning. Our deadlines are 3 PM for the evening edition and 11 PM for the morning edition. If you have a news item you'd like to see in Makin' BayCon, leave it in one of the drop boxes located at the Info Desk and at ConOps in the Boardroom, or slip it under our door. The newsletter office is located in room 641, but our hours are likely to be irregular. When we're available, the door will be open, and you're welcome to drop in with news items.

You should be able to pick up Makin' BayCon at many different places around the hotel. Standard drop-off locations will be the Info Desk, ConOps, the Con Suite, Green Room, and many other fixed locations. Subject to the hotel's approval, we will try to drop issues at the Coffee Garden as well.

Night Registration Available

Night registration will be available during the last 90 minutes that Registration is open. A Night registration is good for that evening and all of the following day. The price for night registration is the following day's one-day price plus $5. Please see the signs posted by registration or ask one of the eager reg brigade workers for more information. Remember that you need a valid membership badge for admission to all events, day or night, and for admission to convention- controlled areas such as the party floors.

Attention Party Hosts

Open parties are restricted to the second and third floors of the Red Lion Hotel. Parties held elsewhere may be subject to closure, especially if your neighbors complain.

Want us to publicize your party? Get your party notice in to a newsletter drop point before the 3 PM afternoon deadline and we'll print the notice in the evening edition. Watch out for the Secret Masters of Parties, they will be roaming the halls looking for parties to review for the following morning's edition.
