{{DISPLAYTITLE:Noncon}}
(For other Noncons, see the [[Noncon|Noncon disambiguation page]])

A gathering of [[fans]], either at someone's home or in regular hotel convention space, during all or part of the Labor Day weekend, for those who cannot go to the [[Worldcon]] or [[NASFiC]] (for financial or other reasons) but who nonetheless feel restless about not meeting with other [[fans]] on [[Roscoe]]'s birthday. The Noncon is simply declared and has no official recognition from the Worldcon or the NASFiC. Noncons are most likely to be held on the 'opposite' coast when a Worldcon or NASFiC is being held on either the Left or Right Coast, thus appealing to fans who cannot afford the cross-country trip. 

A second variety of Noncon exists on a fairly regular basis – a July 4 weekend affair in [[LA]] when the [[Westercon]] is being held in some more exotic location, such as [[San Francisco]], [[Seattle]], [[Denver]] or even [[Boise]].
