Here's something to think about: how would you like the opportunity to meet some of the Wing Commander friends you have made on the internet, to play games, swap stories and maybe buy that special WC item that you've been unable to find locally? Would you enjoy attending panel discussions by some of the game's top players? If the thought of "getting away from it all" and immersing yourself in an unforgettable weekend (or more) of Wing Commander fun captures your imagination... keep reading.
The idea of a science fiction/game/fan convention is not new. For years the Wing Commander fan community has watched, possibly with some envy, the success of Star Trek, X-Files and numerous other sci-fi conventions. Well, Wing Commander is the best of the science fiction creations; how about a gathering for us?
A number of the Wing Commander's most enthusiastic and knowledgeable personalities are looking into the possibility of actually making it happen. We ask you to fill out this questionnaire as completely and as thoughtfully as possible. Even if you are NOT interested, your input would be of great value. And please remember that it is at the initial stages of a project that your suggestions and assistance and most valuable.

2. How far would you be willing to travel to attend a Wing Commander convention?

15. Would you be willing or able to help in this project in any way?
16. Would you like us to contact you in the event we have more information? (if yes, please supply email address)
17. If you feel you would not be able to attend, what would your biggest reason be for not doing so?
18. Out of curiosity, we would like to know where you are reading this survey from. (Introspection WCHS, alt.games.wing-commander, a.g.w-c Homepage, etc)
