A small fanzine-oriented convention in Las Vegas.
The details are not quite clear. The name seems related to Toner Hall, the Vegas slan shack of Joyce Katz and Arnie Katz. Toner 2 was originally announced in 1998 for "the first weekend in November 1999" (Thyme 124).
| Con | Dates | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toner (1996) | August (Fri–Mon) 23–26, 1996 | Four Queens Hotel (downtown Vegas) | Weekend before L.A.con III (like Bubonicon 28), flights from the East Coast actually cheaper with stopover. Run by Tom Springer, with Linda Bushyager? $20.[1] Attended and mentioned by Martin Tudor in Have Bag, Will Travel and Geri Sullivan in Idea 10. |
| Toner 2 | Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2014 | Las Vegas | GoH Joyce Katz |
- ↑ See announcement on Usenet, which soon devolved into a flamewar between traditional-minded fanzine fans and so-called "online fans".
