Hi Todd - as a DMSFS member, let me say that we'd be glad to have you attend our meetings! The next one is Sept. 11th at the West Des Moines Community Center at 7pm.<br><br>I maintain the web site for the DMSFS group, which I'm currently working on revamping entirely. I also work on the web site for DMSFS's annual convention, DemiCon. DemiCon 21 will be held May 14-16th, 2010 at the Holiday Inn Northwest on Merle Hay Road. See <a href="http://www.demicon.org">www.demicon.org</a> for details (we're just starting to post info about DemiCon 21 so a lot of the site pages aren't available yet, just the basic info about guests etc.)<br>
<br>CIALUG's own Josh More has run the music room at DemiCon in past years, I believe, and also did MAJOR work on the DMSFS/DemiCon web sites in the past, among other things. He did a lot of Perl code for the site that we'll be trying to revive and use again this year for our programming grid, etc. You'll usually find him in the Music Room at DemiCon, right Josh?<br>
<br>I'm sure there are other folks familiar with DMSFS and DemiCon on this list as well. Hope to see you at a meeting soon!<br><br clear="all">Bill Davis<br>5214 Meredith Dr.<br>Des Moines, IA 50310-2956 USA<br>(515) 270-6729 home<br>

I'll be darned. I was just griping the other day that I missed going<br>
to the Futurist Society meetings in San Diego. A friend pointed this<br>
out today (coincidentally).<br>

organizations, and media to promote a variety of causes, including:<br>

I'm taking a Lit class this semester, focused on science fiction.<br>
