I have heard, vaguely, that others have tried to lay claim to the title of The World’s Smallest Science Fiction Convention. However, they are all liars and con artists… wait.
I mean they do not do the things necessarily to really be a science fiction convention. For starters, do they have an art show? Ha! Karval Kon has an art show. On Friday every guest is required to make one piece of art or else they will have violated the Karval Kon oath of Total Participation. We also have a masquerade (often involving aluminum foil and tape) and guests of honor speeches. And nonsensical traditions that have become highly traditional as in 2014 will be the 37th annual Karval Kon. Like the tradition that pro and fan guests of honor CANNOT attend. And so someone from the convention has to give their guest of honor speech for them. I am going to nominate Catherine Tate as our Pro Guest of Honor this year, I think. Or possibly Russell T. Davies. We may even let them know. (I think we did send Wil Wheaton something when he was our non-attending guest of honor.)
