USC was a series of relaxacons with a rather convoluted history. It began as an attempt by Irv Koch to start a rotating convention for the northern part of the South to parallel DeepSouthCon.

UpperSouthClave III became the first Kubla Khan and UpperSouthClave then was folded into Kubla through USC 9 / Kubla's Ninth Khanphony. At Kubla's Ninth Khanphony, Cliff Amos and Shelby Bush held an impromptu (they just did it in spite of not being part of the committee) UpperSouthClave site selection meeting and selected a convention they proposed to run in Bowling Green, KY as UpperSouthClave X. Events happened, and neither Amos nor Bush were able to organize their con, but passed the baton to a group of new fans and Concave 1 was created.

It was by then an Tradition. As Gary Robe wrote, "{After Concave 1/USC X}, Nobody else bid for the USC, so we decided to do it again. The site selection meetings have been a part of the Concave tradition ever since; to date, no other bid, either joke or serious, has edged out the Bowling Green group, and Concave still retains the USC as a subtitle."

See Gary Robe's History of Concave.
