Tobes TAFF Ting

Tobes TAFF Ting is Tobes Valois's trip report of his 2002 TAFF trip to the United States to attend ConJosé. It was 22 pages and published in March 2005 in an edition of 50 copies immediately after a dramatic two-hour event at the 2005 UK Eastercon. As Max Harden explained in the introduction:

Easter Sunday, 2005 at a medium sized hotel near Hinckley this trip report was put together in something of a chaos-creation manner. Several fans, entered a small room at the Eastercon and some weren't allowed to leave until a trip report was produced.

Given the volume of this report you may deduce that we didn't start from scratch, but the material that entered Conference Room 8 was available only in a rough format for the most part. During the course of one afternoon the report was pulled together by energy inspired largely by James Bacon who is ever vigilant in his work towards promoting the Fan Funds.

We had interviewers, artists, photographers and an audience and when we were done this was the result. You may notice the chaotic elements in places. Where a comma slips or an image is cut off we trust that we'll be forgiven although we have made efforts to produce something of the highest quality we could given the time.

This first edition did include some 'prominent errors' that were correct in a second edition of uncertain date. The version online at taff.org.uk is a 'slightly tidied version of the second' and was published in May 2024.

The report also includes writing by Claire Brialey, Max Harden, Yvonne Rowse, James Shields and Geri Sullivan and artwork by Dave Hicks, Sue Mason and Anne Stokes
