Ditto 12

The Other Convention for fanzine fans, Trufans, the Curious and the Brave

The next Ditto will be held in Minneapolis, MN, on October 29 - 31, 1999.  We think it's about time.  Ditto started out as an another annual convention for that subset of fandom interested in fanzines. They've ranged in size from 60-odd people in Chicago (and they were odd indeed) to the El Paso convention when all 13 of us fit in the elevator.

If fanzine fandom has a relaxacon, Ditto is it.  We'll have some programming, there'll be much good food and drink, and lots of conversation with people who know that Rex Rotary is not a super villian.  And Ditto in 1999 will serve as Minn-stf's Millenium Fallcon, a tandem act that worked perfectly, twice,  for Ditto and CFG's Octocon, and ought to be at least as much fun here in the Twin Cities.  We think fannish cross-pollination leads to interesting people having fascinating conversations, which is pretty much the point.

Our venue for Ditto 12 is the Radisson Metrodome, 615 Washington Av SE, MPLS, MN  55414.  That's right on the U of M campus, and across the street from one of the better Chinese restaurants in the Twin Cities.  We've got really splendid hospitality space with lots of room -- the windows even open!   The hotel's phone is (612) 379-8888, and their fax number is (612) 379-8436.  The corporate reservations number is: (800) 333-3333.  We  believe them to be sold out for our weekend.

We're having Sunday Brunch!  Cost is not yet determined, but it will be under $15.00/per person, and probably way less.  Just let us know if you'd like to attend and we'll settle up when you get here.

Convention memberships are $30/person, with kid's memberships at $10 for those 13 and younger.  Please makes checks payable to Ditto 12.
