Kidney-on-a-stick It’s a pickle. A deep-fried pickle. Maureen Kincaid Speller is chomping into it, right there on the cover of Idea. This is what you’ve waited three years for. This and more. On the “more” front, I ought to be more precise: it’s a deep-fried pickle slice. I have no idea what happens when you try to deep fry a whole pickle, but I expect that someone will be selling something of the sort at the Minnesota State Fair most any year now. It will come on a stick, of course. Most everything does. “I always thought only the nerds in movies wore hats like that, but I suppose there had to “be a reason they do….”—Maureen Kincaid Speller, 9/6/98 -“San Francisco was a little different; it had interesting architecture. Seattle wasn’t much -“different than home. I was starting to think America wasn’t all that alien after all. But the -“Food Building here at the Minnesota State Fair? It’s alien. There’s nothing like it in the UK. -“I can’t imagine there ever would be.”-—Sue Mason, 8/23/00 TAFF-on-a-stick is just one (well, two) of the many notable fannish events that have occurred since the previous issue of Idea. Minneapolis fans have escorted the last two UK TAFF delegates to the Minnesota State Fair, and this year we had so much fun doing so that we turned around and took the fair with us to the Worldcon. Sue Mason, have you forgiven us yet? Or are you still quivering, seeking escape from the state fair mania that haunted your every move long after you left our fair state? The fannish reaction to our Minneapolis in ’73-on-a-stick party at Chicon 2000 suggests our state fair is pretty typical. For the larger varients of the genre, anyway. I quickly lost count of the people talking about how the party reminded them of everything they loved about their fairs, and how they now wanted to go back home and see the real thing again. Madison fans immediately recognized the butter sculpting contest; their fair even does ours one better in that. Minnnesotans only sculpt the dairy princess and her court. (“Princess Kay of the Milky Way.” Yes, really.) A sole sculptor does all the work, sitting in a refrigerated, rotating display case in the dairy building every day of the fair, working away until all of the butter busts are complete down to the last swirl of the princess’ hair. In Madison, if I remember the story correctly, the butter sculpting is open to contestants, and they carve whatever they like. That’s how we did it at the Chicon party. By the end of the night, our “Food Building” table sported butter skylines of the city, a Godzilla butter dildo carved by Brad Foster, complete with pleasure ridges, and other oddities formed from the 20 quarter-pound sticks we started with. Karen Schafer carved three tiny butterheads, each one started from tiny cube. They were just ensmalled counterparts of those in Minnesota, Contributors: Available for the usual from: Jae Leslie Adams, 621 Spruce Street, Madison WI 53715 Geri Sullivan The Beck, 3557 26th Ave. S., Minneapolis MN 55406 Toad Hall John M.

We didn’t have a refrigerated workroom, so Terry Garey used the fan she’d been given at the Nippon in ’07 bid party to keep Karen and the butter from overheating. Monday night, Ctein carved a remarkably realistic, artistic dildo, complete with gentle curve and balls at its base. Looked like something you’d see at the Blowfish web site, or at Good Vibrations. By the end of the convention, I was punchy, but not so much so as to succumb to the obvious temptation. I appealed to Sue, who even had fresh lipstick on. I forget who grabbed their cameras, but I’m sure we’ll see the evidence eventually. Especially if any of the photographers were from the Plotka cabal. Five weeks before the Worldcon, I didn’t even know if I was going to the convention, let alone hosting a party suite there for the duration. I’d just enjoyed two weeks in the Hawaiian islands, the first at this year’s Westercon (Conolulu) and the second week on Maui and then the Big Island. Volcanoes. Wow. Must go back and take more pictures. Lava as sculpture. Pahoehoe—glistening and organic. Wow. Any one of several of my shots could be a future Idea cover, though I’d have to spring for high-gloss polyester film “paper” to get the right effect. Or start publishing a web zine; that would be the economical approach. But I’ve shown no signs of doing that yet and, given how long it takes me to do things I want to be doing right NOW, I don’t expect to become a web publisher anytime soon.

I was massively grateful to be able to attend, meaning that there was only one of the top echelon team missing from proceedings (Randy Byers), who due to the exigencies of work, would only have been able to flit in for barely two days of Desperate Fun. Them Chungas know their fanac though, don’t they just? Andy Hooper’s sterling contributions to the program in particular and the whole event in general might have led the proverbial Martian drop-in to conclude that it was another of his Corflus after all.

Hell, you probably don’t even know what the Hypersphere is, you goddamn fucking idiot kid. I bet you don’t know the first goddamn thing about the Hypersphere. If you were paying attention, you would have gathered that it’s a big fucking 3 place, but one thing I bet you didn’t know about the Hypersphere is that it is filled with fucked up freaks. There are normal people too, but they just aren’t as interesting as the freaks. Are you a freak, kid? Some sort of fucking Hypersphere psycho? What the fuck are you even doing here? Get the fuck out of my face you fucking deviant. So there I was, chilling out in the Hypersphere. I’d spent the vast majority of my life there, in fact. It did contain everything in my observable universe, so it was pretty hard to leave, honestly. At the time, I was stressing the fuck out about a fight I had gotten in earlier. I’d been shooting some hoops when some no-good shithouses had waltzed up to me and tried to make a scene.
