* What is Worldcon?

- big con (3500 people)
- old con (oldest in the world, since 1939)
- lots of influential people
- very international
- programme that covers *everything* sf and fantasy (12 parallel tracks of programming!)

* Where is Worldcon?

Glasgow

* When is Worldcon?

4.8.-8.8.2005

* Website?

http://www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/

* Whoah, that's expensive. Are there day passes for people with a modest budget?

Yes. And it just so happens that the cheapest days are also the days I'm most desperate to find volunteers for, namely, the first two.

* And how about budget accommodation?

Still available, but you have to hunt around a bit. But a friend of
mine still found a hostel bed for 13 pounds today, just not through the official Worldcon accommodation pages. Contact me (hmpf1998@gmx.net) for help with accomodation.

* Okay, I'll bite - what exactly do you need volunteers for?

I need people to sit at a Farscape fan table, handing out candy,
promotional bookmarks and flyers and answering questions about Farscape if they're asked. No matter how little time you can invest (an hour, or two, perhaps), every little helps. We have *very* few volunteers now, some of whom don't know a lot of English, so we need *more people*!!!

* You sound a bit desperate.

I am. We really, really, really need more people.
