| − | In the Old Days, the Hugo Banquet brought most of the convention together for a combination of dinner and the presentation of the [[Hugo Awards]]. In some respects, it was a more informal affair that today's [[Hugo ceremony]]. It was normally presided over by the [[Toastmaster]], and included speeches by members of the [[committee]], and the [[GoHs]] (sometimes full-length speeches. For a more-than-full-length speech at one of the last Hugo banquets, see [[Baycon (Worldcon)]].)

| − | The Hugo Banquet tended to be quite expensive by the standards of the time, and Hugo banquet prices was a major issue at early [[Worldcons]]. Attempts to circumvent the high cost of the banquet meal led to the [[Balcony Insurgents]] and [[Dave Kyle Says You Can't Sit Here]] at [[NyCon II]]. (See also [[kyle-nycon-ii-reminiscence|Dave Kyle's NyCon II reminiscence]].)
