A bid to hold the 1998 Worldcon in Atlanta, GA. The other bidders were Boston in '98, Boston in 1998, Baltimore in '98 (which won) and Niagara Falls in '98. See 1998 Worldcon Site Selection for details.
This seems likely to have been a later incarnation of the Atlanta -- Real Soon Now ('ARSN) bit that had an ad in a ConFrancisco PR in 1991. That ad named Bill Ritch as "figurehead".
At Intersection the Worldcon in Glasgow in 1995, the bid gave out condoms in a matchbook-like holder that on one side showed their rocket logo and said "Wrap Your Rocket" and on the other side said
AIDS can kill
Don't be silly
Put a condom
On your willy
