Wow, two other "kids of Flushing Meadows" (and one of you is obviously a Larry Niven fan - small world!) I went there both years, when I was 9 and 10 years old. Do either of you remember the pavilion that had the huge model train layout in it? That was my favorite at the time but I've long since forgotten who the sponsor was.

I do remember getting special treatment at the Pepsi pavilion because my cousin worked there. Ironically, I haven't been back to NYC since even though I live in Maryland and it's only 4 hours away or so - I totally missed the WTC twin towers.

I missed the Pierson's Puppeteers exhibit, yes a Niven fan too. Read most of the known space books and the stuff he wrote with Jerry Pournelle, Was also a big Chaos Manor fan from Byte mag. Read Greg Bear too.
