Upon entering the conference hall we found Speer and Rothman had preceded us. Speer spoke up in his peculiar Oklahoma twang, insisted that he was disappointed in our entrance, claimed that the 'great Pong' must make a much more spectacular entrance than merely walking into the room in the ordinary fashion. There was nothing for us to do but oblige. We exited, and then came dashing in again, this time to please him. Whirling like a cyclone we swooped through the door, scattering loose papers all over the room. It pleased Speer, but some other caustic in the room chirped, 'Let's have the snake trick next, Ali Ben Bayrum!' The climax of fun occurred back at the hotel that night after the Conference was over. Two or three Philly gents accompanied Marconette and Meyer to the hotel. Reinsberg was smuggled in past the hotel clerk, intending to spend the night with the boys. The noise from the room was terrific; more than once a harassed clerk phoned in protest. Finally Reinsberg pulled the crowner: leaving the room he strolled nonchalantly about the corridors (at 2 am) knocking on doors, and demanding of old ladies and painted young ladies alike, 'Where is the men's room?' # HAVE YOU SEEN THE COMET? It's now in its third super issue, now beautifully mimeod in red ink. Featured in the third issue a feature story HORROR'S CELLAR by Harry Warner, Jr. A story not to be read at night. Also numerous articles by Tillman, Fortier, Sullivan, etc. And for only five cents extra it will be mailed flat in heavy envelopes, complete with a photo of some prominent fan mounted on heavy slick paper, complete with autobiography ready to be tacked on your wall.
