Duckon VIII 1999

 
 
 

[June 11-13, 1999: TGN, Rosemont, IL] “Duckon VIII” had a lot more room parties than last year, which is always good. There were 600+ attendees putting the con in the “well attended” category.

There were a bunch of Star Wars characters running around – Jedi and Sith Lords but there were no fancy Star Wars costumes (such as any one of Queen Amidala’s wardrobe). Oh, by the way, Ramada Inn in Rosemont is terrible, so I heartily dis-recommend them for any future events there. And, the official eZine-TGN Con Rating is in: 5.0 out of 10

Capricon XIX 1999

 
 
 

[February 12-14, 1999: TGN, Arlington Heights, IL] “CapriconXIX” had a lot more room parties than last year! There were 600+ attendees putting the con in the “well attended” category. However, there seems to be a major lack of room parties, only 5 on Friday and 3 on Saturday. There seemed to be a preponderance medieval and renaisance costumed people, a trend which does not seem to be diminishing. And, the official eZine-TGN Con Rating is in: 5.0 out of 10

WindyCon XXV 1998

 
 
 

[Nov 13-15, 1998: TGN, Schaumburg, IL] “WindyCon XXV” was great as ever. Met old con friends (10 Forward crew), current con friends (Voyager crew), and new con friends (Babylon 5 crew). I invited friends around here and from Michigan. There were 1200+ attendees and the place was packed. As usual, there were major room parties, 10 or so each on Friday and Saturday nights. Stayed up till 3:00am both nights! The official eZine-TGN Con Rating is in: 9.0 out of 10.0.

Duckon VII 1998

 
 
 

[June 12-14, 1998: TGN, Rosemont, IL] “Duckon VII” was okay. There were 500+ attendees but hardly saw more than small groups at a time. Again, there was a major lack of room parties, only 1 on Friday and 1 on Saturday. There was a furry track, so there were a lot of animal costumes. Also, medieval and renaissance costumed people were about, including Nero types. And, the official eZine-TGN Con Rating is in: 3.0 out of 10.0.

Capricon XVIII 1998

 
 
 

[February 6-8, 1998: TGN, Rosemont, IL] “Capricon XVIII” was fun! Yours truly won the best costume of Capricon (as Borg, of course)! You can click on the mini-Borg picture above to get a full size photo… There were 600+ attendees putting the con in the “well attended” category. However, there seems to be a major lack of room parties, only 5 on Friday and 3 on Saturday.

There seemed to be a preponderance medieval and renaissance costumed people, a trend which does not seem to be diminishing. Well, I didn’t bring my camera (yes, I am a moron), so I don’t have any pictures. Hopefully, someone will submit some to me and I will post them. And, the official eZine-TGN Con Rating is in: 5.0 out of 10.
