I can't top that, but milord husband was stuck in an elevator with both 
DeCamps, Harlan Ellison and his date at a SF con once.  An interesting 
experience, which might have been less interesting had any of them been 
sober at the time.  <grin>

Striving mightily go get this all back on topic:  the overlap between SF 
Fandom and the SCA goes back to the very beginnings, including cookery. 
 Mistress Karina of the Far West [author Karen Anderson and 
PaleoSCAdian] is still a very fine medieval cook.  She threw a party at 
the World Science Fiction Convention in San Jose a very few years ago 
celebrating her 50th year in SF Fandom and brought a full buffet's worth 
of medieval dishes.  I can't remember off the top of my head what all 
the dishes were but they were yummy.  Great party too.  Amidst people 
like Karina, Diana Listmaker and that crowd I felt like a veritable 
youngster!  <grin>

So... this year's WorldCon is in Glascow, next year in Los Angeles [or 
more probably Anaheim].  Is it too early to talk List Meetup?  Come to 
LA Con, we have cookies....
