Denver 2008 Staff Biographies:Kent Bloom I
started reading SF before I was 10 years old (a long time ago).
Although my roommates attended Heicon in 1970, I didn't make it
to an SF convention until 1974. I attended Discon II in 1974,
MidAmeriCon in 1976, and haven't missed a Worldcon since. I
joined the Washington Science Fiction Association in 1975, and was
active in that club and its Disclave conventions until I was
transferred to Colorado Springs in 1991. I am a founding member
of First Friday Fandom of Colorado Springs.Over the last 25+ years, I have worked as a gopher at many conventions, beginning with the 1975 Disclave. I have worked on Disclaves, Balticons, Boskones, Westercons, Eastercons, Loscons, as badge checker, art show assembler, registration clerk, ops staff, and whatever else needed to be done. I was head of registration for Disclave in 1978, 1979, 1990, and 1991. I have chaired two small conventions, Datclave in 1980 and Smofcon 16 in 1998. I am a regular attendee and participant at SMOFcons, and am frequently on panels on convention management and organization. I started working on Worldcons at Iguanacon in 1978, where I was a radio operator and operations staff member. Since then, I have been pretty active in WSFS and Worldcon fandom. Here is a list of the Worldcons since 1974, and what I did for them:
