| PartyCon '87 July 24-26, 1987 | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| This article is not meant to be as in depth as the SummerCon issue, but I | |
| think you'll enjoy it. | |
| Before we begin, here is a list of the total phreak/hack attendees; | |
| Cheap Shades / Control C / Forest Ranger / Knight Lightning / Loki | |
| Lucifer 666 / Mad Hatter / Sir William / Synthetic Slug / Taran King | |
| The Cutthroat / The Disk Jockey / The Mad Hacker | |
| Other people who attended that should be made a note of include; Dan and Jeff | |
| (Two of Control C's roommates that were pretty cool), Dennis (The Menace); one | |
| of Control C's neighbors, Connie; The Mad Hacker's girlfriend (at the time | |
| anyway), and the United States Secret Service; they weren't actually at | |
| PartyCon, but they kept a close watch from a distance. | |
| For me, it started Friday morning when Cheap Shades and I met Forest Ranger | |
| and Taran King at Taran's house. Our trip took us through Illinois, and we | |
| stopped off at a Burger King in Normal, Illinois (close to Illinois State | |
| University). Would you believe that the majority of the population there had | |
| no teeth? | |
| Anyway, our next stop was to see Lucifer 666 in his small one-horse town. He | |
| would follow us later (with Synthetic Slug). We arrived at Control C's | |
| apartment around 4 PM and found Mad Hatter alone. The first thing he made a | |
| note of was some sheets of paper he discovered (while searching ^C's | |
| apartment). I won't go into what was on the paper. Although we didn't know | |
| it at the time, he copied the papers and hid them in his bag. It is believed | |
| that he intended to plant this and other information inside the apartment so | |
| that ^C would get busted. | |
| Basically, it was a major party with a few mishaps like Forest Ranger and | |
| Cheap Shades driving into Grand Rapids, Michigan on Friday night and not | |
| getting back till 4 AM Saturday. We hit Lake Shore Drive, the beach, a few | |
| shopping malls, Chicago's Hard Rock Cafe, and Rush Street. It was a lot of | |
| fun and we may do it again sometime soon. | |
| If you missed PartyCon '87, you missed out. For those who wanted to go, but | |
| couldn't find us, we're sorry. Hotel cancellations and loss of phone lists | |
| due to current problems made it impossible for us to contact everyone. | |
