Thank you for posting this! And thanks to DocO for filming/documenting this in the first place, and to BBF for preservation services!
I will have to arrange for off-peak time to see this after work, on a company WLAN connnection; from my home, I only have a 50.6 kbps (at BEST) dial-up connection. After clicking the link and waiting...and waiting...and waiting - It came to the point where it would buffer for 12 seconds, and progress about 1/8 of a second. I went downstairs, watched a performance of Mozart's DON GIOVANNI (with intermissions), did a crossword puzzle, and then came back upstairs to find 8 and a half minutes of accumulated video to review. I really need to look into high-speed DSL for home use!
From what I could see so far, this is a LOT more informative (and truthful) than the more polished and produced highlight videos common of later conventions (US and otherwise). And like all nostalgia, I'm sure that it is somewhat bittersweet, looking back with mixed feelings on the way that you all were back then (youthful adventure!), vs the folks you are today (we are informed by our scars).

Mention is made by DocO of the "Mephit's Mini-Con", in Rüsselsheim in May of that year; I know that we have discussed this before, and I have heard it sort of described (almost apologetically) as a "HouseCon" ...but these things DO play a part in the evolution of Fandom (particularly Furry Fandom) and of conventions, and - well - Fred Patten is still curious about it, I believe.
...(he is a member of this forum - user name of "Fred" - and I'm sure that he would love any additional info, such as who was host; notices/flyers/announcements advertising it; nature of venue; duration; activities participated in; who attended; and what eventually became of the participants, concerning their involvement in further fannish activities; etc).
