I'm working on compiling a list of Chicago cons, past and present, and I find I'm missing a lot of data. If anyone could provide accurate information, I'd appreciate it. Below is a listing of what I'm currently missing ( Read more... )

Need anything from Duckon I? Turned out I'd picked up a program book at the anniversary panel, and it was on the bookshelf.

For Duck, I'm just missing the names of the Chairs of DucKons 1-5, 19 & 20.

I showed some art at a Zebracon a long long time ago.... http://fanlore.org/wiki/ZebraCon

I'm leaning against including Zebracon since it seems to have been a non-SF con.

Invention was intended to be a serconnish compliment to Congeial, held in NW Indiana. It never coalesced into an actual convention, though.

Given that I was one of the folks who proposed it and all. :-)

There were also a couple of Consanguinities in there, sort of a horror-themed convention. Somewhere like 1992 or thereabouts, I think.

Tara and I went to a Farscape con at the Wyndham in Rosemont (later home to Windycon). I don't recall the year, but it was only a bit after the show quit running.

Then there was Consecration that got canceled before being held due to lack of membership. Even as chair, I don't recall the year.
