I think I might be responsible for this meme. When I said this Summercon had basically gone away and I wasn't aware that Pumpcon was still around. Defcon, Pumpcon, Summercon, and Hope are older. Apparently they are still holding Pumpcons and Summercon has seen a recent resurgence. Defcon started in '93, Pumpcon sometime in the early 90's I think, and Summercon started in '86, Hope in '95. It might be reasonable to say that Phreaknic is the oldest "regional" hacker con... A huge number sprouted up after us... In any event, I'm glad we are getting to screen that film. I've wanted to see it. When will it be shown?

I think the figure changes when you take into account consecutive years. PhreakNIC has happened every year its been in existence. I don't think that's the case for the others. But if we are wrong, we should get to the bottom of it.

I'm not sure what the schedule is going to be like. I'm also trying to clear Freedom Downtime and Outfoxed. I'm waiting to hear back from both parties in question.

I tried to clear Fog of War, but Sony and New Yorker Films wanted no part of it. They want several hundred bucks for a showing.

I'm also planning to clear the BBS Documentary with Jason Scott at the con..

It looks like we are going to have a full lineup.. I'll probably run No Maps at least twice, since its so damn good.
