Back in the very early 1990s I was involved in running a convention called PhenomiCon, "Atlanta's Most Dangerous Convention," a mix of UFO kooks, conspiracy freaks, hemp advocates, Libertarians, cyberpunks, SubGeniuses, and Masonic rock bands. The whole story can NOW BE TOLD at my Atlanta Fantasy Fair blog!!

The convention was financially ruinous and that's why it only lasted two years. But those two years assumed legendary status among the internet intelligensia and the Mondo 2000 crowd, a meeting of the minds where Robert Anton Wilson got to hobnob with Ivan Stang and cattle mutilation exponents faced the scrutiny of JFK Grassy Knoll Shooter aficionados. Anyway, I learned a lot from the experience, mostly to never give flying saucer fanatics your home phone number, and to always have a main stage schedule of who's playing when and for how long.
