yelled, "Yo, Domino's dude. If you want to get paid, come down here!" There |
was no reaction. "Hey, you can deliver it to us here now or to jail, and then |
you won't get a tip." He finally got the point. |
We grabbed the pizza and headed for a field north of Lambert Field (St. Louis |
International Airport). The place was known as the PVA (Private Viewing |
Area), but FR informed us that it was really a PFA (Private Fucking Area) as |
we noticed when we arrived. However, we were content with eating our pizza |
and drinking what was left of the beer. The hotel tried to get Tuc to pay for |
the room next door to his because the occupant complained that he didn't get |
any sleep. Tuc refused and checked out of the Best Western. |

PreCon'87; The Omni International Hotel Thursday, June 18, 1987 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
This event was hardly as eventful as the previous one, but at least I can fill |
in a few blank days. Monday, June 15, 1987, we all saw the movie "The Witches |
of Eastwick" and visited North West Plaza. Tuesday, June 16, 1987, I don't |
know about because I wasn't there. Wednesday, June 17, 1987, KL, TK, and Tuc |
visited Union Station (a luxurious shopping mall) and Tuc picked up souvenirs |
for friends back home. |
On Thursday we had several guests arrive. Dan The Operator (a real geek) |
arrived the earliest and Lucifer 666 and Synthetic Slug arrived a little later |
(together). Excluding Cheap Shades at the time, we all converged at Taran's |
house where the excited crowd wanted to see Metal Shop Private. Sadly though, |
a disassembled shell was all that remained. It wasn't long before we became |
bored and left for the hotel. L666 and SS got a room and we killed the rest |
of the afternoon at North West Plaza. Afterwards we began to party it up in |
the room while watching TV. |
Some hours later, we received a call from Bill From RNOC, who was traveling |
with Ninja NYC. They were at The Omni International Hotel, downtown and |
adjoining to Union Station. The Omni is one the most expensive hotels in the |
city and we were all anxious to see it. KL, TK, Dan The Operator, and Tuc |
left to go visit Bill and Ninja. |
After some misadventures in downtown St. Louis, we arrived at The Omni, which |
was a pretty secure building. The elevators required a room key to be |
operated. It seems kinda silly though when you consider that the stairs |
didn't. So up we went to the third floor where Bill and Ninja were actually |
staying. |
The rooms at The Omni aren't a whole lot bigger than at Best Western, but they |
are quite a bit nicer. They have a TV and a phone in the bathroom. The main |
TV is remote control and gives you a billing readout on channel 3. It was |
different. |
Bill came well prepared for the Con, he had stacks of old and new issues of |
2600 Magazine and other propaganda and material. He had several other |
interesting items as well including his mysterious notebooks that never left |
his sight. However, the most intriguing item that he had with him was his |
"bible." "Engineering and Operations in the Bell System" published by AT&T |
Bell Laboratories. You can guess what was inside. |
So we all talked for a while and then said our goodbyes. The rest of the |
evening was for the most part uneventful for us, however, back at Best |
Western, Forest Ranger was lighting everything on fire and L666 attempted |
(unsuccessfully) to breath fire. I guess he wanted to live up to his name. |
SummerCon '87 was about to begin. |

SummerCon '87; The Beginning Friday Morning, June 19, 1987 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
This was the day we had been waiting for. Dan The Operator had shared a room |
with Tuc (and he still hasn't paid his share) and Bill From RNOC and Ninja NYC |
got a room at the Best Western. Everyone soon gathered in Bill's room and |
decided to order pizza. |
So we called Pizza Hut, which was just down the road and Bill was very |
surprised to discover that they did not have "BIG Igloo Jugs." After |
harassing the lady on the phone for a while, Tuc, TK, KL, Shades, and Dan left |
to go pick up the pizza. We didn't know Dan was taping us, but that story |
will be told later. We messed around at Pizza Hut for a while and then headed |
back to the hotel. On the way we had a drag race with some guy who thought he |
had a cool car, we won. |
It wasn't much longer until Sir Francis Drake arrived bearing surprises. With |
him was Dr. Strangelamb (named for Dr. Stranglove, who wasn't too happy about |
it), a small stuffed black sheep that makes a "baa" sound when turned over. |
Lucifer 666 had a lot of fun at the Con playing with it. SFD also had several |
pictures of Oryan QUEST, his car, and Aiken Drum. As far as QUEST's pictures |
go, well lets just say that The Executioner's file in Phrack 13 was totally |
correct. |
While back at the hotel, we had some problems with the management. They |
didn't appreciate our attempts at putting up signs in the lobby for SummerCon |
people. We worked something out, but on a nearby payphone was perhaps the |
strangest person we encountered the whole weekend. It was some weird lady who |
barked and scream and kicked the wall, while on the phone. FR was on the |
phone next to her and she screamed the word "COCKSUCKER!" He looked at her |
and she said "My son-in-law, what an asshole." FR's response was, "Uh yeah, I |
think I know some people like that." |
We relaxed for a while back in Bill's room (We couldn't stand to stay in |
L666's room because of the lingering smell of Synthetic Slug's shoes). As we |
became bored, things started to be taken apart. Like the TV, phone, and the |
internal speaker system in the room. Throughout all of this, Dan The Operator |
had been taping us, but again that will be explained later. |
