Today on my facebook my status is --sorting out details of trip to Adelaide Conjecture and work time in Lieu for Friday afternoon. I also put up the web address after people started to say "there's a con on in Adelaide next weekend?" This first happened to me with Suncon, in Brisbane in 1991, when a local friend didn't know there was a con the next weekend till he read my letter. The only cons I have ever seen that I felt promoted themselves enough were Constantinople in 1994 and Swancon 17, as previously noted. With cons, I feel the committee just have to do some things and promotion is Numbers 1, 2, and 3 on a top ten list. You also need to have something arractive to promote--I did like the "party over the weekend" line.
