Where's Thursday?
On: Thursday - 20:00 to 23:00
Room: Concourse
Participants:
Where’s Thursday? It’s in the Fan Lounge. In the 1970s and ’80s, a question like “When’s Phoenix and where’s Thursday?” was common among Chicago fans. No, we weren’t 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 can’t 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.
