With Chaosium Con US in Ann Arbor MI now just weeks away, let's fondly remember the first-ever Chaosium-themed convention — GorpCon, held on this day forty-four years ago. Taking place in the Grande Ballroom of Oakland's Hotel Milton, it is said to have attracted fans "from as far afield as Berkeley".

Old time gamers, were you there? What are your recollections? It's said everyone who attended was given a Schedule Activity Number (SAN) from 0-99 at the registration desk. Do you remember your SAN rating? Has it gone up or down in the years since?
