        The very first RQ Con was in Baltimore, courtesy of David Cheng. Con II was in San Francisco. III was RQDU (Australia).

        After III there were several claimanits for the next site. It was finally worked out that IV would be in Chicago, Jan '97. V would be in Victoria, summer '97, VI would be in the Wadhington DC area in Jan '98. IV & V came off on schedule, but the group trying to run VI fell apart. Now VI is scheduled for Jan '98, Down Under, and VII is set for May '98 in LA.

        Maybe you could put together an East Coast con for Jan '99? You could get plenty of helpfull advice from former con organizers on the Digest. This includes (but is not limited to): Neil Robinson & the Seattle Farmers Collective; MOB, Andrew Bean & the rest of the DU bunch, Roderick Robertson & Eric Rowe from the California crowd; David Cheng; Hall/Brooke/Jacklin/Gidlow/Phillips/Meints RMM England; and lastly my own self.
