| Live From The BSFS Clubhouse Michael Nelson, Pre-Con Pubs Editor
JUNE 13, 1998—I’m sitting at the end of a plank overhanging
the main meeting space of the Baltimore Science Fiction Society’s cavernous
clubhouse—home port for the Pirates of Fenzance.
Below me, as I edit this article on a spiffy new Omnibook notebook
computer (part of a generous loan of computer equipment from the Hewlett-Packard Company),
Holographic Outbound Mail Guru Sam Pierce (filling in for Mike Mannes) is directing a
horde of loyal crew fen as they stuff Progress Report Four into envelopes. ("Step
lively now, put your backs into applying those address labels!") Tomorrow, I will
mail the Broadside Six master to Dale Arnold, our Speaker to Printer. So, this is
truly late-breaking news.

Internet Lounge
Bucconeer will host an Internet Lounge in the Convention Center near
the registration area. We expect to have about 20 computers with speedy Internet access,
as well as connections for notebook computers. Remember that logging into your
e-mail account requires knowing some basics (your login name and password and your
account’s smtp and pop addresses). Unfortunately, technical incompatibilities
will probably prevent direct access to America Online. Questions?

Programming News
John Pomeranz, Programming
Division Manager
We're putting the finishing touches on an entertaining, exciting, and
educational program for the Worldcon! As of June 15th, we have over 300 people scheduled
to participate on the program in more than 500 program items. Many thanks to those of you
who suggested program ideas and to the many interesting and talented people who
volunteered to be on the program. We had enough people and ideas to fill two Worldcons,
and we’re sorry we didn’t have time and space for everything!
The program for Bucconeer is now in draft form and available for
you to view on our website. Please note that this is NOT the final version of the program!
We expect to make many changes as our program participants review the draft schedules that
we recently sent to them.
