Skimpy Party Reviews

Toronto in 2003 party, Thursday evening, Fan1 to Fan2: "They have real food!" More than 1090 person-visits to the Torcon3 bid party.

Charlotte in '04 was well attended, if hard to find (Door closed, but warded). They offered a variety of beer and barbecue, and lots of bonhomie.

Mark McNary

The Babylon 5 party had some special guests. Though 2-dimensional, they were definitely stars. Good party and homemade treats.

"I never buy food at a Con, I just graze off the land."

Friday night’s filk was good, despite the presence of the starship engine rumbling on the far side of the wall, waiting perhaps for one chorus of "Fuel to Feed the Drive".

Restaurant Review

Papagus Greek Taverna, 620 North State Street. Friendly, professional service and great Greek food. Good selection. Indoor or outdoor dining. Open until midnight on Sunday and 10 pm on Monday. Ten minute walk from convention or a $6 cab fare. Two blocks west of the Magnificent Mile shopping area. James Allen

Con Chair Passes On

Longtime Kansas City fan, Cindy McEldery, passed away Friday. Cindy has been co-chairman of Contraception for the past 12 years as well as a member of the ConQuest con-committee for even longer. Cindy may have lost her long battle with cancer but she never lost her strong spirit. She is survived by her husband, artist Harold McEldery, stepson Kenny and grandson Josh. Kansas City fandom mourns her loss and treasures our memories of this special woman taken from us too soon.
