Punkie and Rogue – Fireside Meanderings : jibba-jabba : Conventions (the good ol’ days) [little under 38 minutes]

by admin on Feb.28, 2011, under Punkie and Rogue – Fireside Meanderings, Rogue's Podcast of Iniquity and Ill Fitting Trousers

This week, Punkie and Rogue reminisce about the sci fi and fantasy conventions they’ve attended throughout the years.

This is a series that we’re going to try to put out weekly, if not twice a month. God only knows if we’ll keep up the schedule, but it should be fun trying to find out. :)

Enjoy!

Intro and Outro music on the podcast is Shanghai Reggae (DJ Side’s Alternate Take) by Karaoke Mouse – the collective work of MMtm and Karaoke Tundra

    Constellation, Worldcon in Baltimore 1983, was at the Baltimore Hyatt and Baltimore Convention Center (where Otakon is currently held). According to reviews I have scanned from old fanzines, it was considered by many to be “the worst Worldcon in history up to that point.” It went $40,000 into the red, being one of the largest financial losses in memory, and as a result Baltimore was a “dirty word” until they won the bid again in 1996 for the 1998 Bucconeer Worldcon, where I was a guest.

    We barely scraped the surface of fandom.
