Minicon 11

Minicon 11 was held 16–18 April 1976.

The Mimeo Man

The fannish musical The Mimeo Man (a parody of The Music Man) was performed at Minicon 11. Here's an audio recording. A section or two are missing because the tape recorder was plugged into the lights, so when the lights turned off, so did it.

Copied from elsewhere on the web: "September 28 1974-The Mimeo Man [Musical] This is a version of The Music Man that takes place July 1912 in an alternate universe where SF became the mainstream of American Literature. Prof. Abie Dick comes to Nova City in the State of Gafia to sell reproduction supplies, priming the pump by promising the children that they will produce Hugo award-winning apazines. He gets around the mayor's wife and her clique by converting them into a science fiction convention committee (NoCon). Just when things seem worst, true love wins out. Lyrics by: Debbie Notkin, Eli Cohen, Moshe Feder; music by Meredith Willson."

DD-B has some pictures from the production.

Program Book

Scans are available here in a range of qualities and file sizes. Most people want the middle column, in which the files have been substantially cleaned up but are still high resolution. The right column has the scans reduced to monochrome and to the smallest legible size.

The page numbering in this book is wonky. The scans here appear in the actual order that the book was assembled.

Some content is not available due to uncertain copyright status. Pages including this content are given only in the third column and with this content removed.
