VIP'S, The Vogon Interdimensional Poetic Society, proudly
invites everyone and her grandmother to
- the very first Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention in
Bergen, Norway.
Quartercon regrets to announce that due to Norwegian alcohol
legislation, people under 18 cannot attend events where alcohol
is served. As Quartercon intends to have alcohol served on the
premises, we have thus been forced to set a minimum age for
attendance at 18 years of age.
Opening hours, Friday 15/8: 16.00 - 02.00
Opening hours, Saturday 16/8: 11.00 - 02.00
Opening hours, Friday 17/8: 11.00 - 18.00
Programme starts one hour after opening on all days
Yes, that's right. You, just you, now have the chance to become
historic! Imagine being in attendance at the very first
SF convention in a town! Now, we know that for some, the chance
to become part of history isn't sufficient basis on which to make the
decision of whether this particular convention is a priority. Which is why we
put up the following data, the answers to the most central questions
in any person's life:
When? August 15 to 17, 1997.
Where? The Academic Quarter,
Bergen,
Norway.
Who? The guests of honour are
Ingar Knudtsen and
Katharine Kerr.
What? Our programme is centered
around the process of Building universes.
Money? Yes, please. The current price
for attendance is NOK 200.
How? Send us the money, and your
registration form.

Lunch? Sure. We do eat occasionally in Norway, as well.
Now, in spite of all the above, you may not yet have decided whether
this is really the convention for you. Maybe you worry about language?
Maybe you worry about expences? Maybe you worry about who this
Bergen, Norway person is, anyway? To answer these, and a number of other
questions, we have seen fit to create the magnificent, extensive,
fabulous, Quartercon FAQ!
An electronic version of Progress Report 1 and
Progress Report 2 are
also available. And if you're wondering whether a trip to Norway
in August is worth the trouble, check out the information on the
Second Northern
Tolkien Festival in Oslo, August 8-10, 1997.
