The [Tradewars Convention](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.thestardock.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?convention01.htm) is coming up soon, taking place October 3-7th in Virginia. There's more information made available today [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://groups.yahoo.com/group/tradewars_2002/message/8551) and also some concerning sponsorships from teams, webpages, servers, etc. found [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://groups.yahoo.com/group/tw2002/message/32995).
[Southwest](https://web.archive.org/web/20010000000000*/https://www.southwest.com/) currently has a special running for online reservations. I'm talking $110 for a round trip from LA to VA. This would be really good for me except they don't have any flights in for that **whole week**. This deal ends at midnight so you'll have to be fast.
