Hasticon

Hasticon was a convention held July 25–6, 1992 in Hastings, UK. It was organised by George Hay and guests of honour were David Gemmell, Steve Sneyd and Chris Evans, a late replacement for Colin Greenland.

Hay himself said 'Hasticon was surprisingly successful' (Ansible #62 (September 1992)). Others were less impressed. Paul Kincaid relayed a conversation: 'Famous Author: Any idea what's happening? Me: All George sent me was a menu from the pub'. Chris Evans found his talk wasn't scheduled (and no space was made for it). Chris Priest said, 'The high (=low) spot was a talk on fractals by one of George Hay's mad scientist friends. He looked like Robert Maxwell; he was as daft as a brush; he made George sound lucid and sane. My first thought was that it was some kind of cabaret act' (all Ansible #61 (August 1992)).
