SHANGRI-L'AFFAIRES  13
Halloween. This is being typt direct on stencil in the LASFS Clubroom. An experiment in candid comment. Anyone is invited at anytime during the progress of the party to record a particularly funny pun or write about something laffable that just happened or—well, we leave it to your imagination! This page will be publisht in VOM.   Please be brief so many may comment, & ALWAYS IDENTIFY YOURSELF EITHER AT THE BEGINNING OF WHAT YOU WRITE OR AT THE END. This is fja. who will begin by--it really is irrelevant but--by repeating a lil incident that is killing the imagi-natives.   It seems Daugherty has one of
these cigarette-lighter attachments in his car, only the dang thing never workt.   So Walt has been in the habit of teasing uninitiates with it, watching them vainly puffing, trying to get a lite.   The other nite, thinking to startle an uninformed friend, WJD nonchalantly pulled the gadget out of the plug &
presst it on his proboskus.   And let out a yipe of pain as the coil glowed red! PS: The blister looks very becoming, the way Walt wears it! Incidently, Dau has threatened to put on a bathing suit & come to the party as a Vomaiden! We are looking forward to this with mingled reactions.   —Carry on, chums...

Carlton J. Fassbeinder: The boys were searching for a lost bottle opener when Hesse let out a shriek. Doc Fassbeinder turned and perceived Carmen Miranda's Godmother. God, Mother! Charley came in dragging it, quite a daring feat. We had a hell of a time keeping him away from the boys. My, Charlie. Meet me at the dugout, Charlie, meet me at the square . My, what brand of lipstick do you use, Dear. We hope Pogo didn't miss her dress.

Christ, this is Fassbeinder again. Pogo is giving away all her dresses to the boys. At this early hour, the party is shaping up in a bad way. Hasse is in
there now. God only knows. Crawford is playing sister Maisie now.

Hornig just refused a cigarette, saying "No nice girl smokes."   Pogo—The Fan Who Could Work Miracles:   She has turned Hornig into Charlotte, Crawford into Wilhelmina, Hasse into Henrietta & Bradbury into Ramona.   0 U glamour girls!
(By 4e)

The sparrow who came two hours late to a housewarming ~~ he thought twas an ice day, so he walked.     On! On! We must organise. George R. S- Hahn

Morojo writing:   The party has slowed down while we await the return of the boys who went to get a camera.   Also, Russ & Virginia are not yet here. 8:50p

And in my own defense let me say, that even though I didn't have any dresses left, I'm fully clothed.   I'm just being different and wearing slacks. And let me add that Hornig—alias Charlotta, is really SWEET,...just in HIS defense.   P.S.—He needs a shave...and I don't like the brand of lipstick
he uses—even though it is my own.....maybe THAT'S the answer!

This is Charlotta—surprised?  Well, you shouldn't be.  I've tried everything else.   And the lipstick IS awful! Ugh! Did Pogo say she was just in slacks?   How about that Martian-mugwump-bird head-dross of hers?   Oh, yes
and here's Henry (Hasse)etta:

And now I've seen everything! Well, almost. Henri(etta) Hasse.   Has he? He sure has. 

Just to note a few here this eve that are comparative newcomers: They,  being:
Clarence and Maurioe Hamm as well as Glen Wilson and his young lady friend..Livia DeLaGarde, ardent readers of Science Fiction .... Walt Daugherty...

Finn  So it's come to this! Yo creo que todos nosotros somos locos! 

This is D. Elder, also present, I think.

This is Pfffassboinder again. Hey, folks. I'm inebriated. Here's a little joke that  Henrietta pulled-off in Pogo's room. It was a slip but not of the tongue.

Thish place is full of drunks, and Bradbury, who is practicing to be a judge...
When someone jokingly (?) told him the punch was spiked, he let out a very unladylike shout and fell to the floor, dead drunk.   He is the only fan who can get inebriated on two cokes- and a ham sandwich.... One of the boys write this.

Photographs are now being taken by Bill Crawford ..... Fire, FireI   A Photoflood
lamp reflector just caught fire. If the place does not burn down, you will probably be able to obtain some of these Amazing Photos from Ackerman.

The truth will out—we have just discovered that Pogo has webbed feet!

Don't forget to get the latest issue of STINCH the latest in fan Mags.
TWELVE MIDNIGHT and all is—   w-e-l-l-l!     (Yngvi speaking for Boskone. Splrfsk?

"The Day After":   Statistix-~23 present.   Costume Prize (current Captain Future)
to WJD for Groucho Marx makeup.   Booby Prize (current Captain Future) to  Hahn as the Invisible Man.     "Prettiest Girl", Bradbury; "Girl with Most Oomph", Hasse;
"Girl Most Likely to Succeed", Hornig.   Pogo wore 3E's famous Rhean Birdman.
Delder was a Devil--but without horns. Acky played Rasputin.   Maurice was her
usual self—the Black Flame; Clarence Hamm, a Roman Statesman (& did he get around!)   Morojo wuza lil cat inuh witches hatte.    

Dau, Brad, Acky & Hodgy
