Calendar Events / Announcements '07 I / Re: Shadowgram Update #167 (Fest Dates & Location)

'91 was certainly one of the years, and the last - but Fests were also held on both coasts in '87 and '89. And in '86 they were held in both Dallas and Newark. And in '85 there was a Fest in Newark as well as one as part of TimeCon85 in San Jose.
Interestingly, though, there have been strings of uninterrupted years of Fests in the Newark/NYC area but never, as ProfStokes pointed out, two consecutive years in CA. I remember hearing that the East Coast Fests in general are supposedly more successful than the ones on the West Coast. I don't know if that is actually true - but the evidence of so many East Coast Fests would seem to support it...
