Anyone want to go to Newport?

I went down to visit my folks in Newport, Rhode Island this past weekend; they were on a weekend getaway at a condo on Thames Street with my godparents Marc and Joyce. My dad turned 50 on 1/30, so I went down to spend some birthday time with him and hang out with all of them.

My folks brought back a bunch of goodies for me from their most recent Hawaiian excursion. They got me a bottle of Roy Yamaguchi's own sake - the super high quality stuff that you serve chilled. So now I have to have a sushi or Japanese food party of some sort so I can drink this wonderful stuff! They also brought me back a musubi maker; musubis are these "sushi sandwich" kind of things - they consist of nori (seaweed), rice, and SPAM and sometimes other ingredients (whatever leftovers you have around that'll fit in a sandwich). The musubi maker is the perfect shape to fit a slice of SPAM. Musubis are especially good if you use spicy SPAM... it's lots of fun to go to local church fairs and stuff in the towns on the islands because they have all kinds of great food like this for sale.

So anyway, about the title... My parents got the condo for the whole week, but they only stayed there this past weekend. I have access to the condo until Friday morning, and I could go overnight on Wednesday or Thursday night if anyone would be interested in taking a quick trip down and hanging out on the island. It's only a little over an hour away from Worcester! The place doesn't have an oven, but it's essentially a two bedroom apartment with a big jacuzzi tub and washer/dryer. There are some great restaurants open down there now, and all the stores are pretty much open too.

Bueller?

Can you help with Intercon history?

I am currently in the process of compiling historical data about all the games that have run at Intercon. This is a slightly daunting task, as we're talking about nearly twenty years worth of conventions. I'm creating a spreadsheet that contains event titles, the cons they ran at, the authors, and author emails.

I have all the data I need for all the New England Intercons (Thirteenth, XIV, XV, A, B, and C). Mostly I need information about Intercons prior to those, many of which originated in the South / Maryland area. This includes data for 13.5, 14.5, 15.5, and 16.5.

The current count of games is 175 for the six cons I have data for, and a bunch of bits and pieces I have about prior cons from the online game resumes of several people. I would appreciate your help in collating the data!
