Tony Lewis Chair, Noreascon
[I] |
Fit the First When I first
bid for Noreascon [I] I had no idea what I was getting into.
1980 Noreascon 2, 1989 Noreascon 3, and now Noreascon 4 in 2004.
There were people attending N4 who were not born when N1 took
place. If a fannish generation is 4 years it has been 35 years,
or almost 9 generations since we won the N1 bid. If you figure
the average mundane generation to be 25 years that would take us
from the Revolution in 1776 to the year 2001 imagine the
U.S. today with Geo. Washington, Th. Jefferson, etc. still
alive. It gives me to think. I wonder how many of us four
timers (or four-flushers) will be around for N5 assuming
anyone is foolish enough to run one. Keep watching
the skies |
Leslie Turek Chair
Noreascon II |
I kind of worked on Noreascon
I I was dating the Treasurer and got dragged into
working. I have no one to blame for Noreascon II I agreed
to run that one and deserved everything I got. (Actually, it was
fun, really.) At N3 I edited the Mad 3 Party and
worked as Chairman's Staff which means I got to do a
little of everything. And here at N4 I'm the weblog editor and
am running First Night (a sort of mini-convention in itself).
And I hope I'll still be around to do something on Noreascon

Yet more proof that some

we get it right. |

Think about making it the permanent location! |
Mike Ward |
My goodness, is it four
already? Time already. |
Suford Lewis |
I bid, we won, I paid. And I
keep on doing it! I don't even remember what I did for N1
for N2 I ran special exhibits we had 13 of them, a
significant number and I got Bruce's Tarot published and
did the Memory Book. For N3 I ran the Masquerade and edited the
videotape. For this one I'm only doing a few things like the
Regency Event, directing the Filkado, a few program items,
tours... oh yes and the Restaurant Guide with Tony ... and
Falling Free .... does this mean I'm GAFIAting? P.S. They
keep getting better ... ! |
