HavenCon

So what exactly is HavenCon? HavenCon is basically a special name for a big party that we plan to make a yearly event. The first unofficial HavenCon was in late April '97, at the end of the weekend it was suggested that it become a yearly event. That brings us up to date. This page is a manifestation of the organisation of future HavenCons (and maybe HavenFests) and to provide information concerning them to interested parties.

Havencon '98 happened last weekend. Stay tuned for more information about the trip and the event in the next few days.

• What you are drinking
  In '97 we had one Keg and kicked it not to late in the evening, most likely we will have 2 kegs and much beer. For drinking we ask that you either bring something to share or offer a donation to the beer fund. Tentatively the beer will be bought by a few of us and then whatever donations are made will be distributed amongst those. Note: HavenCon is not a money making venture, this is just so we don't go too broke pulling this off. Lynne will also be mixing drinks and support for that comes from the "beer fund" money as well.
• Who else will be there
• Why you are going:
  So, you're thinking about going but your not really sure if you should or not and what to expect. If you're anti-social and look down upon drinking and having a good time, then maybe you ought not come. If you like a good party, are interested in meeting some groovy people then you just might have a good time and maybe should try and make it.
• Will you have time off (from work or school)
  Start saving up the vacation time from work or planning your excuse for you professors so you'll be prepared when the time comes.
• Schedule:
  Friday: Arrive/Checkin - all day... just like stop in at the House of Sin
  Saturday: 7pm - Friday night dinner. Meet at the House of Sin
