Music Concert
The Friday music concert was a great success, with the audience at times becoming large enough to be standing room only. Kathy Mars' singing started things off. She was also presented with a plaque in honor of her induction into the Filking Hall of Fame; the seventh person to be inducted. "Thoth" then provided the audience with gorgeous bodies to stare at while playing electric guitar, violin, drums and harp. Heather Alexander enthralled the audience in true bardic fashion, with wonderful stories to go with her songs. After the formal part of the concert ended with RCB and Blue Matter, the concert swung into standard filk format until the wee hours of the morning.

Gofer Awarded!
For Work Becoming of a Gofer
Bouquets and kudos to all the gofers at this year's BayCon. Without our volunteers, the convention wouldn't have run as smoothly as it did.
Here's a partial list of what gofers do: be a door dragon, help at Registration desk, help set up the Dealers' Room or the Art Show, "go fer" coffee, "go fer" copies, run messages, run errands, etc.
Gofers can volunteer to work for just one shift (about two to three hours) or as many hours during the weekend as they want (just remember to eat and sleep).

To recognize outstanding work and exceptional efforts above and beyond by our gofers, here are the winners of the BayCon 1996 Gofer Awards:

Chairman's Choice: Andy Wellman
Most Hours Award: Andy Wellman
Almost Most Hours Award: Marshall Clevesy
Most Positive Feedback Award: Matt Costa
Gofer Staff Choice Award: Kristi Cleveland
Bend Over Backward Award: Keith Kissel and Tessa Thornberry
The Karl Mundstock Memorial Dead Gofer Award: Andy Wellman

Overcrowding in the Zocalo
This years Babylon 5 panel saw an incredible turnout. So much of a turnout, in fact, that the room was changed to a larger one and even that wasn't big enough. After the air-wall was opened to double the size of the new room there was finally some comfortable standing room to be had. Need we say that Babylon 5 has a bit of a following? So many members attended, in fact that BayCon '97 Programming plans to build on this momentum.
