CONCERNING THE NEXT CONVENTION The next World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Philadelphia, probably on Labor Day weekend. A program is being planned which should be of great interest to all who attend. The emphasis of this program will be on the creative side of fantasy fandom. We hope for ideas and participation of all fandom in discussions, debates, exhibits, and what you. To start the ball rolling, here are three things: 1. Write to me with your ideas for an interesting program. Let me know if you have any discussion you wish to bring up, and talk you wish to give on any subject concerning fantasy or science fiction, anything you have at all which will add to our program. 2. It has long been my ambition to give a program of fantasy music. A start was made in that direction at the Pacificon when Tigrina sang her own "Sabbath Summons," Walt Leibscher played his "Pacificoncerto" and I played the "Ritual Fire Dance." I know that there are a number of amateur composers among the fans. During the next six months I would like these composers to get to work and write music for a concert to be given at the Philcon. This music should be for the piano preferably, altho it can be a song if you have somebody to sing it. I expect to hear from Harry Warner, Jim Blish, Doc Lowndes, Art Joquel, Tigrina, and Bob Hoffman along this line. 3. All previous conventions have been decorated by original cover illustrations hung on the walls. Few of these have had much artistic value. For the Philcon we would like to have a real fan art exhibit. We would like every fan artist to prepare a magnum opus to be hung at this exhibit. We do not want illustrations. No BEM's or damsels in distress. Let yourselves go and paint that work of art you have dreamed of. You will be in competition with Philadelphia fan John Baltadonis, who is gaining recognition in a local art exhibit. I am writing this for the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, which will sponsor the Philcon. Until a permanent convention staff is chosen, send all communications to me. Also remember those dollars for the Convention Society memberships. Four are already in: EEEvans, Walt Daughtery, Tom Hadley, and Charles Lucas. We pay our expenses with those dollars. PHOTOGRAPHS I took a hundred pictures at the Pacificon. Get a packet of 20 of the best ones for one dollar. Or write for a list of individual shots. Also Nycon & Denvention photos. Milton A.
