}}NASFiC, held in Los Angeles, on Labor Day weekend 1975, at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott, was the first North American Science Fiction Convention.[1][2] "NASFiC" was an initialism for North American Science Fiction Convention.[2] This "Continental Convention", the first of its kind, was held because Melbourne, Australia, was selected as the location for the 1975 Worldcon.[3]

Guests of honor

  • Harlan Ellison, Guest of Honor
  • Lester del Rey, Toastmaster

Information

Site selection

After the 1975 Worldcon was awarded to a site in Australia, Los Angeles was chosen as the site for the first Continental Convention at {{nowrap|Torcon II}}, the 31st World Science Fiction Convention, in Toronto, Canada. The bid led by Chuck Crayne defeated a bid led by Bruce Pelz, also for Los Angeles in 1975, at an "unofficial" site selection meeting.[4][5]

Committee

  • Chair: Chuck Crayne[4]

Events

Johnny Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, Jock Mahoney, and James Pierce—four of the actors to have portrayed Tarzan—participated in a "Tarzan Club" reunion as part of a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Edgar Rice Burroughs' birth.[6] Several of the actresses that have portrayed Jane, including Eve Brent, Joyce MacKenzie, and Louise Lorraine, were also part of the celebration.[7]
