   Where's Thursday?
   On: Thursday - 20:00 to 23:00
   Room: Concourse
   Participants: 
   Wheres Thursday? Its in the Fan Lounge. In the 1970s and 80s, a
   question like Whens Phoenix and wheres Thursday? was common among
   Chicago fans. No, we werent confused. Thursday was the name of an
   informal meeting of fen who gathered in each others living rooms once
   a week on Thursday, of course. There was no formal business and the
   only rule was that Thursday was open to everyone. Leading lights of
   the Thursday Night Irregulars included many of the folks involved in
   bringing you Chicon 2000. The Fan Lounge is designed to give you a
   little of the flavor of what the living rooms in those third-floor
   walk-ups were like. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we cant provide the
   stairs, but we invite you to join us on Thursday night as we recreate
   our youth, collate a retrospective Windyapa and argue over whose turn
   it is to go out for more Coke.
