LoCicero" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 06:08:37 GMT From: "A.J. LoCicero" Subject: ***Frucon Information*** We've been deluged with inquiries so we are proud to finally announce the Frucon 5 information! 1) Con Location: The Con will be held this year on February 16th, 2002 in the Mulock rooms A and B of the Comfort Suites City Center 200 Dundas St. East, Toronto, ON. The Con will run from 10 AM to 5 PM. 2) Activities: This year the committee is planning a somewhat smaller and more intimate event. We have a few events planned including Videos, a fruhead version of The Weakest Link, as well as our popular talent show event which will take the form of a Gong Show this year. As always, we are also leaving it somewhat up to you to mix, mingle, sing, and create some of your own fun. On either Friday or Saturday night, we are planning a "movie night slumber party" event for either friday or Saturday night. Stay tuned for the movie titles and further information. 3) Shows: Fruvous has informed us that they are continuing their performing hiatus, so there will be NO FRUVOUS SHOW this year. We are, however, aware of a strong possibility of some other shows that weekend featuring some fruvous members and fruvous-related artists. Stay tuned for more info on this as soon as we have it. 4) Con Tickets: Tickets for the con will again be available from Ticketweb. We will have this set up shortly and at that time I will give you the URL to buy them. For the moment I can tell you that tickets will be $7 US in advance through Ticketweb (2 dollars cheaper than last year) and $20 Canadian at the door (assuming we don't sell out) We price them this way because we REALLY want you to buy them ahead of time. It helps us a great deal to know how many are coming before they get there, so we have created economic incentive to buy in advance 5) Children: Kids 12 and under are free to the con, however they do count against our maximum capacity, so the committee would appreciate it if you would email us at kids@frucon.org and let us know how many children will be coming with you. 6) Hotel Rooms: The official Fr|Con hotel is the Comfort Suites City Centre. You can take a look at it at this website: http://toronto.com/E/V/TORON/0000/46/08/ We have a special rate arranged. The Fr|Con rate runs from Thursday night to Monday morning. Single/Double: CDN$109/night Extra people beyond 2 are CDN$10 each. IMPORTANT--YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET THE RATE: Call 1-877-316-9951, the reservations desk at THE HOTEL, and ask for the FruCon rate. THE PEOPLE AT THE CORPORATE CENTRAL RESERVATIONS NUMBER WILL NOT HAVE THE DETAILS ON THE FRUCON RATE. If you call the local number and they tell you there are no more rooms left, e-mail the committee (committee@frucon.org) and we will see if rooms can be added to the block. 7) Frucon Shirts: Brent and Maryann Miller have once again designed Frucon Shirts. The Shirts are now on sale. For info go to http://home.attbi.com/~zone5/frucon5.html. They need to get orders for at least 25 shirts or they will have to cancel the order. Hurry, you MUST order your shirts by midnight, January 15. That is when the order must be placed, so do not delay! Watch this space for more information and also keep checking our website http:www.frucon.org for the latest info. The site has been kind of stale for a while, but we have a new webmaster and it should be updated soon. See you in Toronto!
