Andi Schecter, who did programming for the Seattle B'con and chaired the
Seattle LCC is going to have a convention in Seattle in the spring of 2000
which will feature the hardboiled. This is to replace the EYECON she
wanted to host.

After EYECON95 in Milwaukee, there was to be another EYECON in Indy, but
that fell apart. Then Andi was going to do EYECON in Seattle, but that
fell apart. EYECON will now be held in St. Louis in 1999 but it may have a
writers con slant rather than a fan slant so I would advise reviewing the
programming before going if you are not a writer, because the host of the
St. Louis con is Private Eye Writers of America.
