(Did you mean a different Minicon?)
An annual regional convention held since 1968 in or near Minneapolis, MN on Easter weekend by Minn-StF. (Both "annual" and "on Easter weekend" have been violated, but not since a long time ago.) It has taken several quite different forms over the years, but is currently a general-purpose, but fairly literary, convention of about 450 members.
The number of Minicons was just a bit deliberately haphazard (if that's not an oxymoron) so what is listed below is actually correct.
Yes, Minicon 14 was in 1982, following Minicon 17. This is because "Minicon 14" was originally reserved for the fallcon following Minicon 13, much as Minicons 4 and 9 were fallcons. But then the fallcon committee decided to call their con Anokon instead, and the following springcon committee had already latched onto the name Minicon 15 and didn't want to change, so 14 got skipped. After 15, 16, and 17, we decided to come back and use 14…
Minicon have appointed an official archivist, and their archives of old convention material are very comprehensive, both websites and files.
