Interaction Mails Progress Report #1
Interaction, the 2005 Worldcon, released its first full
Progress Report on 30th August 2003.
Interaction plans to produce four Progress Reports in the
run-up to the Convention, along with three issues of its
newsletter, "Armadillo Dreams".
Progress Report 1 (PR1) includes a wide range of articles including
an introduction to the Interaction Guests of Honour; a retrospective
on the 1979 Worldcon, Seacon '79, by its Chair Peter Weston;
and a "Fan's A-Z of Glasgow" by Ian Sorensen. PR1 also includes
"Interpolation", the first of a series of fanzines by the Plokta Cabal
who will be running the Interaction fan lounge and fan programming.
The cover of PR1 has been designed by Hugo award winning artist
Jim Burns, and is the first of a series of pieces inspired by
the convention's riverside location and Glasgow's maritime
history.
Interaction members attending this year's Worldcon, Torcon 3,
have been able to collect their Progress Reports in person.
The remaining copies will be mailed from Interaction's US office
in Louisville, Kentucky over the next two weeks.
US members' copies will be mailed by standard (bulk) mail. Most
non-US members' copies will be mailed by International Surface
Air Lift (ISAL) mail. A small number of copies, mostly to countries
that do not participate in the ISAL program, will be sent by
ordinary air mail.
