It is an annual event, **Vanilla Toast**. Nowhere did **Esprix** “First Annual”. This is the first time it is being held on the West Coast rather than the East Coast, and once in the Mid-West, as he explained later in the thread (about his third post). So, while I share the peeve about “First Annual”, your peevishness is misplaced here. I suspect you reacted to the OP without reading the whole thread. ---

Indeed - this is the twelfth Gaylaxicon. You can read about the history [here](http://www.gaylaxicon.org/History/history.html). Esprix ---

Whilst I am not gay, nor am I a trekkie geek sci fi nerd dork not that there is anything wrong with it…my lawyer told me to say that **Esprix** I just wanted to say that you are really cool to do: a) what you love b) love what you do c) how in the hell do you keep your post count so high with organizing this? d) Have you cloned yourself? Should we somehow get Fred Phelps involved to make things really interesting? kidding 🙂 ---

**Shirley** , thank you. I just wish I could translate what I love doing into a real-life career (which I’m working on, trust me). And no, I haven’t cloned myself, but typing 123 wpm does help. 😃 And we can call up Freddy, but only if it involves gaming with [Redneck Trees](http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05042002.html). “You bleed all sexy!” 🙂 Esprix [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/queer-science-fiction-geeks-unite/160771.md?page=3)
