TICC?

ML: Wahl, Mme. Interviewer, ah must say zat ah was not surprahzed at ze total lack of writeeng, directeeng, and acteeng talent deesplayed een zis year's performahnce.

DC3: You're saying that the production was a total waste of time?

ML: Not at ahll. Ah beelieve zat eet was a classeec example of theahtreecal meeneemaleesm.

DC3: Theahtreecal meeneemaleesm? What do you mean?

ML: Ah mean "theatrical minimalism," you reediculous Amereecan savage.

DC3: Sorry.

ML: It's ahlright… meesunderstahndings are bound to happen when ze only language you speak ees wreeten franglicized Eengleesh. Een anee case, ah was imprehssed by ze story's profound stahtement.

DC3: What statement was that?

ML: Ah interpret eet as saying, "we have no budgeet."

DC3: Would you recommend that American audiences attend this show when it has its public premiere at the opening ceremonies of DemiCon III?

ML: Absolutlee. Ah am strahnglee drawn to zis skeet, although ah cannot put mah feenger on exactlee why.

DC3: Then, you would say that it had a certain je nois se quoi?

ML: Come again?

DC3: No, thanks.

So there you have it, fhans. Another ambivalent recommendation for TICC lunacy. Don't miss our annual lampooning of the SF giants — this year including Robin Hood, Star Trek VI, Bill and Ted, Anne McCaffrey, DemiCon III guests, and many, many, (too many) more — 7 p.m. Friday in the Main Programming room. You may even get to hear some outrahgeous accehnts.

Writer's Workshop

M. Z. Reichert's famous writer's workshop returns to DemiCon for a third year! In order to best accomodate people, participation will be limited to a handful of future best-selling authors. In fact, by the time you read this, it may already be too late. Hope springs eternal, however, so you'll want to know that the sign-up sheet will be located at the registration desk. Once it's full, though, it's full. Participants should report to secondary programming (Iowa Room) at 11 a.m. Sunday with manuscript in hand to begin whipping their work into publishable shape!
