[[Joe Mayhew]] described this thusly: "For me the highlight of the [[con]] happened while I was auctioning. The room was a ground level exhibition area with two vast doors in its back. While [[Jack Chalker]] had his back turned, sipping coffee, the doors opened and a SWAT team with loaded machine guns barged in. Someone had been seen on a balcony of the hotel with what looked like a gun. It was a very security minded area. We don't know how many attended with or without the G-Men."
