| − | Time || Title and Description || Participants | |
| − | 10:00 AM ||Wherefore Art Thou Going, [[FanHistoriCon]]? -- [[Timebinders]] meeting. ||[[Laurie Mann]] & [[Joe Siclari]] (moderators)
| |
| − | 10:30 AM ||[[Midwestcon 50]] [[midwestcon brunch|Brunch]]. -- The Standard Fare. And [[Cavin]] & [[Tucker]] too. And Announcements of [[Fannish]] Todos! ||
| |
| − | 1:00 PM ||[[Cinvention]]: What Really Happened? -- This Worldcon came out of nowhere. There wasn't even a big local [[fan]] group? What happened to make [[Cincinnati]] such a hotbed of [[fandom]] that they wanted to run a [[Worldcon]]? What happened at the con? And who was [[Charles R. Tanner]]? ||[[Margaret Kiefer]], [[Dave Kyle]], [[Bob Tucker]], [[Joe Siclari]] (moderator)
| |
| − | 2:30 PM ||Tall Tales and Outright Lies: the Myths of [[Midwestcon]] -- There are few conventions that have more "history" than [[Midwestcon]] even though its always been a relatively small [[con]]. A large part of this "history" comes from the stories told by the likes of [[Bob Tucker]], [[Robert Bloch]], [[Howard DeVore]] and their ilk. Can we believe them? Let's find out whether [[Jim Harmon]] was really water-bombed by [[Harlan Ellison]]? What's behind the "love plaque"? Is it true that [[MWC]] had more nudity per square person in the 60s & 70s? Who were the [[Columbinnati Mafia]] and why were they run out of town? Why did "[[7th Fandom]]" Rise & Fall at [[Midwestcon]]? ||[[Jack L. Chalker]], [[Howard DeVore]], [[Bob Tucker]], [[Roger Sims]] (moderator)
| |
| − | 4:00 PM ||The Beginnings and Continuing Saga of [[Midwestcon]] and the [[CFG]] -- The who, what, and where of how [[Cincinnati fandom]] got started. Why did they create a [[relaxacon]] instead of a "normal" convention? Are they just party-makers and not really [[S-F]] [[fen]]? Or did the [[Cinvention]] burn them out? Why did [[Don Ford]] start this thing? And why have there been only four leaders? What do they do here every year for 50 years with nothing to attend? No Program! No [[Art Show]]! No [[Masquerade]]! These are mysteries to be solved. ||[[Bill Cavin]], [[Margaret Kiefer]], [[Mary Martin Patterson]], [[Joel Zakem]], [[Mike Resnick]] (mod.)
| |
| − | 8:00 PM ||What do We do with All This Stuff? -- Over the years, [[fen]] accumulate lots of [[fannish]] memorabilia. We take photos and now videos. We collect [[fanzines]] and magazines and...and...and... [[Fannish]] souvenirs and movie posters. Books and radio shows, and sometimes even money! How can we keep these in the "family" for other [[fen]] to enjoy. Do we need some fannish organizations that will help? Are there any groups now? ||[[Mark Olson]], [[Joyce Scrivner]], [[Joe Siclari]] (moderator)

| − | (This last panel had a dramatic moment when [[Ed Wood]], a noted collector, stood up and dramatically announced that ''he'' was not going to pass his collection on to ''anyone''. It made sense only in the context of his life and when he died he was going to have it burned as a funeral pyre. He then stalked out of the room. (Ed was given to the occasional bit of drama.))
