Have you chaired any conventions? (A-D list)

[hazelchaz]

Okay, I'm going to ask the general question. Have you served as chair for a fannish convention, and believe you can lay your hands on a list of chairs? (I'll settle for all the chairs through your year, for example if you printed that in your program book.) I'm trying to build up my reference data that I use when I update Fan Gallery bio captions.

I have some info already on file, I'll be summarizing them in chunks.

Here is a good list of the information from Capricon through this year....

Although I don't have the time/patience to update the wikipedia page, but the chair for Cap 32 is Sondra de Jong not Sandra de Jong.

The missing Boskone info (and, in fact, all Boskone info) is available at http://www.nesfa.org/boskone/boskone-history.html

Thank you! I had that link, I just hadn't gone back to update my data in a few years.

Thanks for the confirmation!

I'll be posting several messages to cover which conventions I have data on. When I get to W, I'll be able to include "Windycon, through 2013."

I've updated my master list with your data.

Costume-Con's history is up at http://www.costume-con.org/ in the "visual archives." Each convention's album page has as much data as is available (and always chairs).

Costume-Con

[hazelchaz]

Yeah, it took me a bit to get the hang of navigating the Visual Archives for the textual data I'm looking for. Thanks!

On the up-side, I think you can search names in the visual archives if you're trying to update a person you think might have a Costume-Con connection.

Shall we see if we can merge the CC26 Gallery collection with theirs?

I have some info for three Chattacons, based on the program books for the respective years:

Chattacon 27 (2002) -- Andy Hendee
Chattacon 29 (2004) -- Lee Sessoms
Chattacon 30 (2005) -- Robert Zielke

Those were the program books most readily at hand. I can have some more info in a day or so.

Chattacon Chairs

Cool! Thank you.

Re: Chattacon Chairs

[hazelchaz]

I have some of the chairs already, by the way. I've incorporated your data points.
