Remember: Mark your calendar for Warpstock 2005 -- October 6 to 9, 2005
and make your plans to join us in Hershey.

Hershey is the home of the Hershey Company (Oh yummy chocolate), as well as Hershey Park, ZooAmerica, and the Hershey Chocolate World. Its located next to Harrisburg (the capital of the state of Pennsylvania), close to the famous Pennsylvania Dutch (the Amish) area of Lancaster Pennsylvania, and a reasonable drive from Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. Hershey
is served by the nearby Harrisburg International Airport (MDT).

The final hotel contract and arrangements are still pending. When these are finalized, we will announce specific room costs, reservation
instructions and location information. We just wanted to let people know the "where" and "when" so they can begin to make plans to attend the
OS/2-eComStation event of the year. The dates and location for the event are set and will not change.
