Masquerade Video
Here is a video of the Minicon 27 Masquerade. (If you have trouble with the video format, try VLC.) It is a rip of a DVD which is a transfer from VHS. The transfer was done by Jon Hyers, who filmed several years of Minicon Masquerades, but not this one; he just had the tape. The tape says on it "Jeff Barny Videos. Mask 92 copy".
For slightly higher video quality, you can also download all of the files needed to make a copy of the DVD.

Not-a-Website
The WWW existed in April 1992, but the only servers were in Europe, and there were only perhaps a dozen of them, all or most of which were at physics laboratories. Also, the Minicon 30 program book strongly implies that Minicon 30 was the first Minicon web site. So we're almost sure that Minicon 27 had no web site. On the other hand, we are a bunch of geeks who don't always communicate well, so who knows? In any case, we have lost any archives that might have existed.
