(Did you mean a [[Eastercon|British]], [[Eastercon (Australia)|Melbourne]] or [[Eastercon-DAG|Wisconsin]] convention?)<br />
<br />
There were four small conventions named Eastercon which were held in [[New York City]] in the late 60s. In the mid-60s, [[Lunacon]] was a very [[sercon]] one-day convention without significant parties, so [[FISTFA]] and the [[Fanoclasts]] created the Eastercon, a party convention usually held on the same weekend as Lunacon.<br />
<br />
1965: Was a room party held in Room 232 of Loew's Midtown Motor Inn in [[Manhattan]] on Friday, April 23 (the day before [[Lunacon 8]]). It was by all accounts, a boisterous affair. [[Ron Ellik]] reported that "by 10 pm the place was jumping". [[George Heap]] on guitar could not be heard more than two paces away. Other attendees included [[Hal Clement]], [[Lee Hoffman]], [[Terry Carr|Terry]] & [[Carol Carr]], [[Ted White]], [[Jack Gaughan]], [[Charlie Brown]], [[Lin Carter]], [[Frank Dietz]], [[Calvin Thomas Beck]], [[John Boardman]], [[Ken Beale]], [[Pat Lupoff|Pat]] & [[Dick Lupoff]], [[Fred Lerner]], and [[Will Sykora]].<br />
<br />
1966: Was held at the same hotel as [[Lunacon 9]] on the same days (April 16-17) ([[Lunacon]] was now a two-day convention.) There over 100 in attendance and 235 total at combined Lunacon and Eastercon.<br />
<br />
1967: Eastercon consisted of [[fan]] parties starting at 8pm on the nights of April 28 & 29 at the Hotel Roosevelt during [[Lunacon 10]], and while still run by [[FISTFA]], Eastercon combined its membership fee with Lunacon's.<br />
<br />
1968: At this point the convention was essentially part of Lunacon. Eastercon was eventually discontinued after the Lunacon committee saw that when there were parties, more people wanted to stay over for them. With parties part of Lunacon, there was no longer a need for Eastercon.<br />
