THE BURSAR'S COLUMN
Lost Luggage!
The walls at Convention HQ are filled with conceptual and
design sketches of Lucifer the First (or Loofy to his friends) - a real
devil of a machine and, for his many sins, the official Committee entry
in the Luggage Wars.
Bred for speed and manoeuvrability, Lucifer slinks around our secret
test arena, building up agility and power in preparation for September.
On the walls of his cell are pictures of the latest developments from
Samsonite - he likes to keep an eye on the competition. Be warned:
Lucifer is mean and looking for a fight.
In the space left on the wall, the Convention programme continues
taking shape - new items have been added almost daily over recent
months. The finishing touches are now being added and our guests
notified of their particular programme commitments. We are all very
pleased with the new items added for 1998 - some exciting experiences
await you all in Liverpool including, we hope, a live Discworld cookery
demonstration and a performance of Theatre of Cruelty. The
former will be organised along the lines of "Ready, Steady,
Cook!".
Since
advertising it in Issue 3, we have been inundated with subscription
requests for The Discworld Chronicle. It's wonderful
to see that so many of you are interested enough in what we do to keep
subscribing to our magazine. We are now looking for regular
contributors, so if you have journalistic or artistic tendencies, or
just want to pass on your feelings about the Discworld to other fans,
write in to our new permanent address, or e-mail us at: queries@dwcon.lspace.org. Letters
can also be sent to these addresses.
Subscribers to the Chronicle will receive advance
information about future events and the chance to buy exclusive
merchandise. You will also receive discounts on Convention
memberships.
What else to tell you? - there's so much. I suggest you read on
to find out about items we're currently planning for the
Convention, but which aren't yet confirmed.
