And here are individual page images, available in a range of qualities and file sizes. Most people want the middle column in which the files have been substantially cleaned up to remove the grain of the paper, bleed through from adjacent pages, etc., but are still high resolution.

Masquerade Video

Here's a video of the Minicon 23 Masquerade. (If you have trouble with the format, try VLC.) It was filmed by Jon Hyers. This video was lost until Jon contacted us in 2009 to ask if we wanted the master. He sent it to us along with a DVD he made of it. The above file is a rip of that DVD. The master is a VHS tape with the following label: "Minicon Masquerade. Center location. 3 Apr 88. Radisson Hotel."

For slightly higher quality video, you can also download all of the files to needed to make yourself a copy of the DVD.
