Moments in Paperback History: LANCECON 1991

What it was all about: Books.

And more books.

You get the idea.

The King of Paperbacks, also King of the Barbecue.

Frank Portwood with Jessica Rabbit 
(she's not bad, she's just drawn that way).

Misters Napier and Tayor chew the fat.

Misters Paschelke and Tayor chew the fat.

Misters Wald and Taylor chew the fat.

A rare moment. Misters Philips and Wald chew the fat without Mister Taylor.

The Casebeer basement (or maybe the upstairs - they look the same).

The Casebeer upstairs (the window is the giveaway). 

The Casebeer dining room, aka Marilyn shrine.

The Casebeer living room. What? No books?

Auctioneer Wald holds the audience in thrall.

The audience, in thrall. 

Like dang near all the other LanceCons, this took place in Lance Casebeer's backyard here in once-beautiful (now trashed) Portland, Oregon. Thanks again to the man hiding behind the camera - Mr. Art Scott!

I don't remember being there with Bill and Marcia but the camera doesn't lie.
