dreamsharkNow that the back room is temporarily squirrel-free, Richard actually started cleaning it. Along the way, he found this. Anyone recognize it?
It's the Program Book to Minicon 1! Or, as it's referred to within, "The Minicon." This 4-hour event was presented by "The Minn-Stf," which is also described inside the program. There was one panel, one music event (several Filk Songs performed by Nate Bucklin), and a short organizational meeting (presumably to organize the next Minicon, although it isn't actually spelled out what it is supposed to be organizing. Maybe more Minn-stffs). However, there were FOUR author GoHs, including at least two that you've heard of. Quite the thing!

Incidentally, Carl Jacobi didn't actually come to the con. He repeated this performance for Minicon 2. As I typed this, I had a sudden burst of skepticism that he was a real person. Well, there is a "Carl Richard Jacobi" Wikipedia article and the person described fits the bill, so probably.
Has Richard found any copies of the Minnesota Science Fiction Society Newsletter? That's what the first 6 issues of RUNE were called. I might also compare those to rings of power if given the opportunity.
