MileHiCon Photo Album - Master Index

MileHiCon started way back in AD 1969 under the name OctoCon. That year and the next it was a small event held in the basement of the Columbia Savings Bank at Federal Blvd. and Kipling Parkway in Lakewood Colorado. It was named OctoCon because it was intended that the convention would be the last weekend of October, although it tended to float around a bit in the first few years. (The first was delayed until AD 1969 November 15th).

In 1971 the convention moved into more stylish digs out at the Malibu Airport Inn followed by the Sheraton Airport Inn for the next six conventions. MileHiCon 4 was also the first to bear the MileHiCon name due to confusion with another OctoCon elsewhere in the country.

Since AD 1985, with only three exceptions, the convention has been held at the Sheraton Hotel Lakewood, a suburb slightly west of Denver. It has grown to a size of just short of 1000 guests in recent years, but has never passed that magic number to anyone's knowledge.

It is primarily a literary convention with panels, though there is also gaming, movies, a professional art show, a (small) masquerade, the inevitable dealers room, and the somewhat famous critter crunch (robotic grudge match, an early Robot War).
