| − | [[PgHLANGE]] 1 was held June 6-8, [[1969]] at the Allegheny Motor Inn in [[Pittsburgh, PA]]. The [[GoH]] was [[Robert Silverberg]] and it was unofficially co-chaired by [[Ginjer Buchanan]] and [[Suzanne Tompkins]]. Attendance was about 80. | + | #redirect[[PgHLANGE I]] |

| − | The Allegheny Motor Inn was very small, but even with a small hotel there were problems, as some of what little meeting space there was was rented out from under the convention to a wedding party. This meant that the huckster area was outside the hotel; luckily, weather cooperated. The tight confines caused many of the attendees to take a pass on what programming had been planned.

| − | The convention got off to an unusual start: on Friday afternoon, the entire committee had gone to the airport to welcome [[Silverberg]] to [[Pittsburgh]], unaware of the fact that he had already gotten to the motel on his own resources. After a period of time when people were wandering around wondering where the convention committee was, [[Barbara Silverberg]] offered to go to the airport to welcome the committee to [[Pittsburgh]].

| − | There were tried and true types of panels, such as [[Lin Carter]] on "How to Create a Fantasy World" and a panel on SF Criticism with [[Lin Carter]] and [[Lester del Rey]]. Even [[Robert Silverberg]]'s [[GoH speech]] topic was a bit prosaic: "What It Is Like to Be a Writer". The main attraction of the convention seemed to be the parties, for which the presence of a usable swimming pool helped considerably. One of con attendees was a ''[[Star Trek]]'' fan named [[Lois McMaster]].
