Described as a Midwestcon-style relaxacon (but it included a costume ball!) scheduled to be held September 25-27, 1970 at the Edgewater Hyatt House in Long Beach, CA. It was organized by Lee Gold and Barry Gold. It also had a dealer's room, where Bill Crawford offered, among other things, a bunch of manuscripts of stories he'd published including stories by Clark Ashton Smith, Andre Norton, and Cordwainer Smith's "Scanners Live in Vain." There were severe Santa Ana winds during the convention, which made everyone very dehydrated.
