Frucon 3 and Frucon 4, there were no Pro-Choice concerts. Actually, back when Frucon 4 was first announced, there wasn't even a concert scheduled. (Uhm, I don't think there was anyways. But, as per usual I could be wrong) If the conditions of it being in February (ie. weather) mean that the majority of people won't be able to make it, then, yeah, it would make sense to change it. But, if changing it to some other date means that more people wouldn't be able to make it, well, then it should be kept the same. I dunno, maybe I like it when things stay the same, I've only been to the last 2 and I had a great time at both. It's kind of like a tradition. I mean, it's happened 4 years so far, it'd be kind of nice to keep it going. I think anyways. The first year, I went because there was going to be 3 shows. That doubled the amount of shows that I had seen up to that point. Last year I went because I was going to be able to see alot of people that I hadn't seen since the year before. Next year, and yeah, I've already requested that the "weekend after valentine's day" be kept free for me to book off. That doesn't guarantee that I'll be able to get the time off, but, it's the best I can do. And , I will most probably be there. Regardless of whether or not there's a show. Heck, regardless of whether or not there's even an official con. I'm sorry to the people that wouldn't be able to make it especially if the weather prohibits driving. But if it was changed to any other time, I don't know if I'd be able to make it. (uhhh, that really sounds like I'm trying to make it all about me. I'm not. Honest. :D) I'm really hoping that others will be able to make it. I don't want to be sitting in a hotel room all by myself. :~) > >And the fact that a dear friend of mine who lives in Toronto has a birthday in >February has no bearing on this whatsoever. :-) Hrmmm, ok, I must have totally misread what you wrote, because I thought you were voting for 'change the date' , but, that last statement seems like you'd like to 'keep the date'. I'm just tired I think. Oh, and how about this. Air Canada is currently having a seat sale. Travel to be completed before February 28th , 2002. Round trip to Toronto from Vancouver is $320 cdn. Purchased before Sept 11, 2001 though. :) But yeah, travelling during february is definitely one of the cheaper times to fly.

I was probably one of the first people on the newsgroup to suggest a month other than February for FruCon5. Surely there is a certain logic to changing the Con to a more driver-friendly month. But the bottom line is, this is a decision that should be made by the FruCon5 committee; not by popular vote. I support the committee and their decision. Thanks for your hard work on FruCon's 1, 2, 3 & 4! Can we expect an official announcement soon?
