Rog Peyton was appalled by the togas in the bar on Friday night at Paragon 2. It's not the fandom he used to know, apparently.

No, the fandom he used to know looked more like this photo of the 1957 Worldcon from Efanzines.com. (Click on it for a larger version.)

actually the gent at the end is James White.

You can see him on this page in the top middle picture in teh same attire
and the glasses and jaw line are distinctive, to me at least,

http://www.efanzines.com/1957WorldCon/WC01.htm

also on page 3, is picture c-11 a room party obviously.

I love these old pics, and know off saint fantony as James was a member, I cannot give an exact history, as its varied, and I was chatting with P. weston and Bill Burns about it, and it changed with time.

anyhow, I used to think Stef and I were doing new things,

then mark told me about the entrails story....
