10 Ah, me; what I did after the moompix (a short subject about invisibility also was shown) I cannot recall now. All is blank as a cartridge; yet I calculated once I averaged only 3 hrs sleep a "nite" during the 5 days in Denver--I mustve been monkeying around somewhere. Well, I'll swear! Why is it so often directly I've declared I can't remember something, it comes back to me? One thing has, anyway: How Olon, Milty, Morojo, (praps) Hunt, myself & I believ several others, set out after midnite in search of an open malt dive. Locating one, Mirta Forsto treated Milty to that milkshake, as per promise in preDenvention Vom; while the Efjay had a dubl-rich choclit, spiked with egg. It now occurs to me I can account for some more time: that I spent in the morning, in the Hall, when the CFS business (of which it developt there was none) was to take place. Fans wanderd in & out; Yerke, Evans & others amking use of Morojo's machine (portable typryter) on the far end of the back table. An airmail pkg of Speer's Denvention offering, Apollo, was deliverd to me & distributed. This reminds me: at another time a large disc was rcvd from the Minneapolistfans. Recording was of professional quality, giving good reproduction of the voices of Clif Simak, Carl Jacobi, Oliver Saari, Morrie Dollens, Jno Chapman, Squanchfoot - the Wonder Dog, & many others, reading from a well-prepared script. Skilful synchronization of melodramatic music, sound-effects & speech created a stirring conclusion which called forth many encores, as the Skylark 3d--Andromeda-to-Earth--went out of control...SOS! SOS! SOS!... rockets gone & drifting into meteor shower--! I had the good fortune to be able to purchase this disc after the Denvention & I salute its makers on an all-around swell job & in particular the spine-tingling spacial finale... Morojo, 3E & 4e had lunch together bfor the Afternoon Session of the 5th, at which time we got a preview of Evans' Prepared Speech, discust it & the way of the world in general. I recall an uneasy twinge as 3E mentioned the "Mac" girl & how tho the feminine form airily clad made his heart as glad as anybody else's, he felt there was a time & place for everything--& the place for Petty pix was not on sci-fic's covers...& I thot of our Vomaiden by Paule, this month's by Mooney, & our intention to feature others at not infrequent intervals! However, the midst of this Denvention account is not the place, either, to digress & give an editorial dissertation on why your coeds approve of the fair sex in undress, in fanart. Just briefly'll quote Morojo, when discussing Evans' attitude with her later, that "promags & fmz, in relation to femmes, are two different things." (In case U are wondering how to differentiate tween "fmz" & "femmes" when spoken in conjunction, the latter is accompanyd with a raising of one eyebrow or the well-noen wavy motion thru the air. There really is nothing wicked about this.) And in any event, don't get the idea we don't love U, Everett; in fact it occurs to me to call U the Grand Old Man of fandom...& I woudnt think of calling U old, either, if U hadnt been so chagrined a fellow a few yrs your senior was at the Denvention! There is a difrence of days in the time the last line was ritten & this sentence started. There is a difrence of 15 mins tween time last sentence was ended & this'n started. In the former case I was unable to accomplish anything further on this account because of the arrival in town of Korshak & Gardner & Bronson, publication of Pacificonews #1, Annual Beach Party of LASFS, visit to Hondo, Calif, to see convalescent Bob Olsen, some Assorted Services transacted after office hours, & the 2d of the Pacificon Organizational Meetings. If the dummy works out the way it should U
