| Showing at this year's Fair will be a number of our
favorite artists, such as Valentine, The Hun, Karin
Swildens, and Jeff Palmer. Joining them will be a host of
first-time exhibitors such as Jay Jorgensen, last year's
co-winner of the Grand Prize in the Emerging Erotic
Artist Competition (see Jay's story at right).  And as if
all the art weren't enough, the Fair will also feature
demonstrations and live sketching of nude models!
Buying art can work up an appetite, and the Eros Cafe
will once again offer sandwiches and beverages throughout
the event.
Admission to the Fair is $10.00 ($7.00 for Foundation
members), and is good for both days. Come!
Saturday evening, October 14, is the Foundation's
Annual Banquet, to be held this year at the Penthouse
Restaurant of the Metropolitan Hotel in Hollywood, which
is our host hotel for the weekend. Guests will be
surrounded by a breathtaking 360 degree view of the city
while enjoying another chance to mix and mingle. A
special feature of this year's banquet will be the
presentation of the Foundation's first Lifetime
Achievement Award, and the induction of the first member
of the Erotic Artist Hall of Fame (see separate story).
Cost of the banquet is $35.00 for Foundation members and
exhibiting artists, and $50.00 for the general public.
Advance reservations are required; call the Foundation at
213-250-1685 to reserve. Come!
Instead of sleeping in on Sunday morning, October 15,
we expect a number of people will wend their way to the
lecture titled “Is It Art or Is It
Pornography?”, to be followed by a panel discussion.
This program, which includes a continental breakfast,
should be not only educational, but also stimulating
enough to wake everyone up, no matter how late your
Saturday night was. So come!
 It's going
to be a fantastic weekend from beginning to end, so get
off your butts and Come!
