Convention	Date	Attending
Washington Confabulation 1	Early 1940	Elmer Perdue, Milt Rothman, Jack Speer
Washington Confabulation 2	Summer 1941	R. D. Swisher, F. N. Swisher, Russ Chauvenet, Washington Worry-Warts (Perdue, Rothman, Speer, possibly others)

From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944

From Confabulation – The name is a new one, and almost the only events so called so far have been the Washington Confabulations. The first of these was in early 1940, when Perdue, recently arrived from Wyoming, Rothman, not long from Philadelphia, and Speer, of Washington for more than a year, got together and called themselves a confabulation. The second was in the summer of 1941, when Dr and Mrs Swisher visited the Washington Worry-Warts, and Chauvenet came up from Charlottesville. This Confabulation issued the Washington Manifesto.
