The first exit off Aye `98 will be the main Exhibits Area—here be dragons, and Hugos, and computers (oh my!). Each Bucconeer Guest of Honor will have an exhibit showing why each of them IS a Bucconeer Guest of Honor. For your information and pleasure, there will be fannish history exhibits, showing where we have been and where we think we are going.

Just beyond the displays of past Hugo Awards and award-winning costume displays you will step into the real future. Companies will be showcasing their new whiz-bang marvels in Near Future Technology. Those pirates from NASA and Hubble and their cohorts will be here as well, showing us what new "oceans" await exploration. The Commercial Exhibits area is where you can find people such as the Wizards Of The Coast, the Franklin Mint, Sci-Fi Channel, and other culprits to be named later.

Been plowing through those stacks of books you have at home, have you? Want to get them autographed, but don’t know what the author looks like? We can help! There will be a portrait gallery of authors, artists, and even some prominent SMOF’s as well.

The second exit off Aye `98 will be the Merchanter’s Luck (a.k.a., the Dealers’ Room – Hall F). The Merchanter’s Luck honchos (Larry Smith and Sally Kobee) want everybody to know that all Merchanter’s Luck space has been sold. If you want to find something strange or unique, you will probably find it here.

Along Aye `98 will be the COMM Center (commonly known as the message or Voodoo Board) and a Fan Lounge, where you can indulge in your need to communicate about all things fannish. In this same area is the Galley, where you can satisfy other less ethereal urges by consuming food and beverages while listening to the entertainment provided by Passing Fancies.
