If you want to visit the coolest convention ever with an absolutely unrepeatable guest list, set your time machine to take you to the 1977 Nudlecon in Tucson, Arizona (aka the 1977 Science Fiction, Horror & Fantasy World Exposition).

The guest list for this event was absolutely beyond belief and will never be repeated, especially since so many of these people have passed on. Scifi grandmasters, science personalities like Carl Sagan and an actual Apollo astronaut, even Margaret Mitchell, the actual original Wicked Witch of the West, Harryhausen himself, even legit scifi grandmasters like Heinlein, Ellison, Poul Anderson, not to mention James Doohan. It even had legit Hollywood legends like Robert Wise, Buster Crabbe, and Johnny Weismuller. 

According to one person who was there: “Johnny Weissmuller celebrated his 73rd birthday with a party there. Charles A. Purchase and Raymond E. Mondoux refitted an original Apollo trainer to bring to the event.”

The guest list has to be seen to be believed: 

Ask any old fan from Arizona, they’ll tell you how mindblowing and defining the 1977 Nudlecon was to this day.

We Three Kings (4):

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

O Holy Night (3):

st. paul’s cathedral in liége went from one lucifer, whom they called ‘too sublime’ and removed because he was distracting ‘pretty penitent girls,’ to another lucifer, who they’ve left there for 170 years even though he’s so hot that satanists visit the cathedral to meditate in the presence of this Most Sexy Of Lucifers

here’s how i imagine that went down.

liege cathedral: hmm. you know what we need? a nice satan for our church. let’s ask joey geefs

joseph geefs: sculpts this

liege cathedral: no!! too hot!! now we all want to fuck lucifer! we need a different satan. let’s ask… the sexy lucifer sculptor’s BROTHER. yes. willy geefs is older so he definitely doesn’t want to fuck lucifer

guillaume geefs, who DOES want to fuck lucifer, and the only sign of his being older than his brother is that the lucifer he wants to fuck is somewhat older: sculpts this

liege cathedral: shit. well we don’t have any more money for lucifers so i guess we’ll keep this sexy lucifer
