For Torcon III, we have combined these two popular events into an opening night "not be missed" special! Join in the fun as we kick-off Toronto's third Worldcon. Meet and mingle with our Guests of Honour, other Torcon participants and volunteers, and of course, all your friends from around the globe and beyond. And make sure you stay after the event for a late-night concert by our own 'recovered folksinger' Spider Robinson who--with a little help from Jeanne Robinson-will sing pazz, jop, bolk, flues, and some original material, with solo guitar accompaniment.

Honouring the best and most innovative artists in the world of science fiction, fantasy and speculative art.

Don your costumes and your bring your dancing shoes -- he music you'll hear is Retro-80's and sci-fi song/theme remixes - hosts Keith and Gary Arseneau's specialty - with lots of Canadian Content. We're fen, and we put on a dance for our fellow fen - the kind of dance you'd only get at a convention. Warm up for the dance with Jungle Cats on the prowl. Slinky, playful, majestic and mischievous, Ravenar dance troupe celebrates the many aspects of the cat. Ravenar fuses belly dance with a variety of music, including pop and movie themes. They perform at SF Cons and parties all over the US and now in Canada. For full information, go to the dance page.

Fans have a well-earned reputation for voluntarism, so come on out and donate a pint for this very worthy cause.
