A little about the con from the memory of one of the co-
We got to the hotel around seven on the 28th. The Con suite was to be ready for
us that night so we could set up the next morning with no trouble. The people at
the desk acted as though they never heard of us and the the person in charge of conventions
had left for the day. The room wouldn’t be ready until the next day-
7AM we get our stuff and get ready to setup and we find out that there is another
convention in the hotel and they have some of our space. We need to be ready for
registration by five PM and people would be getting in all day and we had to reallocate
the rooms. Only two rooms were effected -
7 AM Saturday Morning -
The rest of the con was a whiz of things happening -
When it was all over we broke even!! (Which was all we wanted) and I think everyone at the con had fun...and we were tired....
Anyone who was at the con, drop me a line at floridafandom@floridafandom.com. Share some of your memories of this wild and weird con held over 35 years ago in South Florida.
