Spawn of Prophecy #1
Norwescon 8 and Spawncon
Jerry Kaufman, on his Down Under Fan Fund (DUFF) trip made the mistake of creating a hoax bid for an Australian Natcon to be held in Seattle...which won. The Aussies, sensibly, decided to run a non-a-Natcon at the regular time (and in Australia!) while Kauffman ran Spawncon, the official 1985 Australian Natcon at Norwescon 8.
