Interaction Mails Armadillo Dreams #2

Interaction, the 2005 Worldcon, released the second issue of its pre-convention Newsletter, "Armadillo Dreams", on 4^th May 2004.

Interaction is producing three issues of Armadillo Dreams in the run-up to the Convention, along with four Progress Reports. This second issue features a round-up of Interaction's activities since the Worldcon was awarded to Glasgow at Conjosé, along with news and announcements from each of the Divisions. We are also delighted to be publishing a further showcase of UK fan writing.

Interaction members who joined the Convention after the mailing of Progress Report 1 in August 2003 will also receive their back copy of that publication in the next few weeks. Coordinating back mailings helps the Convention to manage its distribution costs which is especially important in view of the wide geographical spread of Interaction's membership.

Newsletters and Progress Reports for all countries are being mailed from Interaction's US office in Louisville, Kentucky this week. US members' copies are being sent by standard (bulk) mail. Most non-US members' copies are being dispatched by International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) mail, with the remainder, mainly to countries that do not participate in the ISAL program, going by ordinary air mail.
