what the hell are you talking about?
====================================
DUM-DUM-DUMMERCON! that's right! can you imagine your life without
the creative collective genius of the #zines crew? do you spend endless
nights wondering whether or not jamesy is 'dreamy' enough to take you to the
prom? can you recite all the 'zines texts backwards, alphabetically, with
release dates & writer listings? phear dat!# if you consider yourself a
fan, if you consider yourself a crazed lunatic, if you consider yourself a
true reincarnation of SURYA, GOD OF THE SUN ..
COME TO DUMMERCON!# <echo 'con..con..con..'>
the true e'zine event of the year is here. no mudgeeks, no bots,
no doodleboys, no warez pups, & no netscape warriors - just your glorious,
once-in-a-lifetime (until next year) chance to hang out with 100% pure
mackin' _'zine guys_ for a day!# woo-woo. everyone is invited, but only
the most eleet will attend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
where & when is it?
===================
saturday, july 13th, 1996
12:00 noon - 6:00 pm
fdr park
picnic area 7
philadelphia, pa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
what will be happening?
(or; "hey m0g, why the hell should i haul my ass to philly?")
=============================================================
although we'll actually be having conversations about e'zines, ideas,
& each other, the meeting is also intended to be a social event. we're
assuming this isn't a big deal because no one coming to this deal will be
some ansi dewdleboy who spends most of his suburban life locked up in his
room because mommie & daddy don't 'get' why he spends every waking hour
drawing a picture of calvin & hobbes with colored blocks on his computer.
none of those guys here, no sir-ee.
there are activities planned & raddy-rad things in the works. if you
have any suggestions on what we can do, you can contact us at the places
specified later in this file. amazingly enough, here are some of the events
that are being planned:
a picnic! mogel can't make ramen! ha ha! come prepared to munch
away with the telecom legends!#
bobbing for warez! who can courier the warez out from the small tub
of water the fastest? only the elite shall survive! lamers will be
drowned!
fun! games! prizes! softball (no, crank will not be the ball)!
wrecking computers worth thousands of dollars! it's all-out anarky!# don't
miss the big bag of dumb stuff raffle (come & find out just what in blazes
we're talking about)!
hang out with tons of e'zine writers & #zines regulars, in an epic
gathering expected to include mogel, jamesy, murmur, shadow tao, rattle,
eerie, morpheus, styx, kaia, crank, pip the angry youth, metalchick, cerkit,
ilsundal, ffej, belial, edicius, tmm, kojak, fatslayer, misfit, juke,
eightball, sed, kamui, curious george, xgirl, fake scorpion, dead cheese,
swisspope, quarex, sweeney erect, vanir, whoops, skooter, ninja, oodles
of philly locals, & tons more that we were too stupid to remember!#
now, how much would you pay for this package? ten cents? twenty
cents? but wait, there's more!
some lucky attendee of dummercon will win an autographed copy of
mogel's underwear! yes, it's true, it could be you! now quick, tell all
your friends!#

====================================
jamesy vs. pip 'zine contest!
who can write the most bad 'zines most quickly? see this competitive
sport unfold right before your eyes, as pip & jamesy race on laptops to
create the wackiest, fastest producing 'zines! as an added bonus, you (yes,
you!#) can submit things for these new 'zines *LIVE*! impromptu writers are
needed to help turn this competition sour!
the rules: jamesy & pip must, within 15 minutes, come up with a
wacky info file about their 'zine. next, the participants of dummercon will
read these info files & decide which 'zine they like better! then they can
write for that 'zine! all submissions are taken because we all know neither
pip nor jamesy ever understood quality control when they ran 'zines!
the points will be tallied by a selected council at dummercon as
follows:
best .nfo file - 15 points
first to reach 10 issues - 15 points
first to release an index of the 'zine - 10 points
first to release 20 issues - 25 points
first to have 10 writers for their 'zine - 25 points
first to get rattle to write for their 'zine - 50 points
most issues - 50 points
most writers - 50 points
after the scores are tallied, the best 'zine leader is acknowledged!
the loser gets to make his girlfriend turn into a lesbian! it's all fun &
games here at dummercon!#
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
is there any cost? what can i do to help?
==========================================
dummercon will be held on a very inexpensive site for one very simple
reason; we're all poor dumb moronic youthful angst-ridden rejects. we have
no money. this means bring your own picnic-like food. don't come to
dummercon without food expecting uncle moggie to take pity on you. HE'LL
EAT HIS FRIGGIN' PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICH RIGHT IN YOUR STINKIN' FACE,
YOU MOOCHER. YEAH!@ point; bring food. lots of it. especially if you're
a fat, ugly, stupid, slob - & you smell bad, too!#
that means _yew_, baby!
you're also welcome to bring fun-fun stuff. bring your favorite
tapes & cds (label your stuff so no one will haxor it!#). bring free
printed-out examples of your 'zine to pass around. bring free stuff to give
out. bring us food. bring virgin women to sacrifice. wear really stupid
outfits. bring your pet frog, "al". bring turnip seeds to plant. bring
0-day gnu phresh warez to trade!@ bring cooley-cool high-tech computer
stuff!@ bring dumb stuff to give away!# bring your girlezz for us to
wership!@
it wouldn't hurt to tell someone that you're coming, either.

=====================================
slinky saga chess!
if you missed slinky #3, you missed out on quite an interesting piece
by cerkit. it was entitled, "the slinky saga," & it currently holds the
record for dropping the most nicks in a 'zine story - 60. in honor of this
story, we decided that a game of slinky saga chess would make a great
addition to dummercon! the game goes as follows:
tape or ropes on the ground will define the squares of the chess
table. certain dummercon attendees will participate, each acting as a piece
in an real game of chess! see which side wins!

pre-generated idea for dummercon #100302
========================================
name dropping fun!
inspired by various 'zines, we look to find out how many scene
references can you drop in a minute! if you think you're good enough, you
might just win! everyone must try to drop the most names & groups in a
minute & a half - the best bullshitter wins mogel's underwear *autographed*!
