   Conucopia's Daily Newsletter is under the overall direction of Chaz
   Boston Baden and the "Pan-Galactic Publishing" crew. Our News Desk
   will be in the Marriott's ballroom lobby, in the same general area as
   Information, Handicapped Access, and Volunteers. If you want to
   contribute something to the newsletter, the best way is to stop by the
   News Desk. Or, put your note in one of the drop envelopes on the "news
   boards."
   
   If you have a digital camera, please bring it to the convention, along
   with your driver software and cables if needed. Stop by the News Desk
   early in the convention so we can set things up and make sure you're
   equipped to take notes - if you take a picture of someone, write down
   their names!
   
   The Daily Newsletter will appear at least twice a day. The morning
   edition will be on the stands before daytime programming begins, and
   the evening edition will be on the stands before evening programming
   begins. There may be a few "extra" issues as well. The newszine will
   have program updates, party listings, and anything else that seems to
   be worth printing. (Note to people throwing parties: deadline for
   party announcements will be one hour after the hotel's check-in time.
   Stop by the News Desk for more details.)
   
   When we say "on the stands" we refer to five or so freestanding
   "newszine boards" positioned throughout the convention. There will be
   one near or in front of the con suite, art show, dealers room,
   Information, Registration, and so on. On each rack is a space for each
   issue of the newszine, so if you miss issue #2 you can go back and get
   it. If you see an empty space on one board, check one of the others,
   or try back later.
   
   Next to some of the newszine boards you will find a Blue Board - a
   plain board, painted blue, where party flyers may be posted, along
   with other notices of events happening during the convention. The
   hotel is fairly strict about where signs may be posted, so we are
   providing these boards as an alternative.
   
   Our crew consists of:
     * Chaz Boston Baden
     * Deanna Bayless
     * Kim Bergdahl
     * Lynn V. Boston
     * Colleen Crosby
     * Shawn Crosby
     * Jan van 't Ent
     * Patricia Flood
     * Shawnna Fox
     * Mike Glyer
     * James Hay
     * Charles Herbig
     * Anastasia Hunter
     * Pat Lawrence
     * Lisa J. ("Huggy") Murway
     * Jenny Reed
     * Andrew Rich
     * Jennifer Rich
     * Maria Rodriguez
     * Monalisa Ward
     * Mel. White
     * Lew Wolkoff
     * Kathryn ("Katze") Yeager
       
   Our News Desk will be open from 10 am to 6 pm Thursday-Saturday,
   10-noon on Sunday. Most of the fans listed above will be desk jockeys,
   working two hours a day in overlapping shifts; you'll probably also
   see them helping out in various other departments, throughout the
   convention. They'll be doing most of the original typing and
   copy-editing, and some of them (such as Mike Glyer) will rewrite the
   news to make it more interesting. Once Colleen Crosby and Chaz Boston
   Baden have edited and produced the actual issues, Jennifer Reed and
   Maria Rodriguez will distribute the newszine, and Mel. White will turn
   it into HTML and upload it to the website.

For Department Heads Only

   If you want it in print, give it to us the day before. Our deadline
   for the morning issue is 6:00 pm the previous night. Our deadline for
   the evening issue is 12:00 noon.
   
   We can deliver a few copies of each issue to your department, if you
   like. Just let us know how many copies, and we'll come by in the
   morning and in the afternoon with the latest editions. Write to me at
   newszine@99.nasfic.org and we'll set you up.
