Minicon 29

Minicon 29 was held 1–3 April 1994. This page exists to hold scanned documents from it.

Masquerade Video

Here's a video of the Minicon 29 Masquerade: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5. 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. These files are a rip of that DVD. The master is a 3/4" U-matic tape with the label "Masquerade 1994 (1)".

NOTE: In ripping the above files from the DVD, there were some read errors. Playback may be choppy around the end of the third file, for instance. However, all or nearly all of the video is there. (We recommend trying VLC to play them if you have trouble.)

You can also download all of the files needed to make a copy of the DVD. (The VOB files in there are identical to the MPEG files above.)

Not-a-Website

Minicon 29 is the first Minicon that could reasonably have had a web site, since CERN made the web free technology a full year ahead of time and it was starting to become popular by 1994. However, the Minicon 30 program book strongly implies that Minicon 30 was the first to have a web site. In any case, if Minicon 29 did, we have lost the archives.
