Conventions

***kin' Elemenstormers. Like Trekkies, but with ***kin' swords. - Convention Centre Customer Relations Manager

RAE Con '97 was the first convention of ELotH:TES fans that was larger than a mere get-together of locals. It was organized by rec.arts.elothtes, as a reconciliatory effort following the lasting three-way flame wars with alt.fan.elothtes and alt.fantasy.elothtes.
Elemenstorm '99 The NYFD and local hospitals still have nightmares over this one. (See Haukberk Incident)
FurniCon 2000 was viewed by some as "pornographic" and others as "really hot"
Space Elemen-Station 04 was a combined science fiction and ELotH:TES convention held in London in May 2004.
Elemenstorm 2005 was back in October 2005, held in Boston, MA. If anyone has any pictures, please upload them!
Cheese-a-thon 2005
Nerdculturecon in 2005
After party '05 held in a hotel room at the Ramada inn and involving many of The Council of Elders.
E3 2006
Elemenstorm 2006 took place in September 2006, in Los Angeles, CA.
Midsouth Con 06: While not an official ELotH:TES convention, fan favorite author Annonymous Miranda discreetly visited, narrowly avoiding the Sovreign Animation Nation Incident that stymied production of the latest animated effort.
2006 Readiation: Both Tycho Brahe and L H Franzibald are scheduled to appear. All true ELotH:TES fans are encouraged to stay away so that we don't appear to encourage Sorcelation.

tim	I think the Haukberk Incident was the one where that guy who plays skip was throwing fire (with flashpaper) on the show floor and Haukberk's Wizbits Wares caught fire. Pretty sure the fire was bad enough that they had to end '99 a day early. None of the scheduled speakers for sunday got to appear, and Brahe was going to give that speech that was an official response to the 14th manuscript rumors.
Leo	I thought Haukberk was the last name of the guy who got beaten by fans over some discussion and burned by Horwell and his "Fire Balls"?
tim	Yeah, I'm a little fuzzy on the details myself... but I think that guy who got beat up (Haukberk) was one of the vendors, and the fire although accidental was the event that ended the con.
Leo	True, true. Some politicians wanted to ban geek conventions for ever in my country when CNN reported this. I believe we still have some obscure law against fire in cons.
tim	Leo, have you added yourself to the "fan locator"?
Leo	We have a fan locator? I'll be there soon.
bfg00	Anyone have the con list for 2007?
