[[UpperSouthClave]] had become attached to [[Kubla Khan]], but at [[Kubla's Ninth Khanphony]], [[Cliff Amos]] and [[Shelby Bush]] held an impromptu (they just did it in spite of not being part of the committee) UpperSouthClave site selection meeting and selected a convention they proposed to run in [[Bowling Green, KY]] as UpperSouthClave X. Events happened, and neither Amos nor Bush were able to organize their con, but passed the baton to a group of new fans and Concave 1 was created and held in 1980.

By the next year it was a [[Tradition]]. As [[Gary Robe]] wrote, "{After Concave 1/USC X}, Nobody else [[bid]] for the USC, so we decided to do it again. The site selection meetings have been a part of the Concave tradition ever since; to date, no other bid, either joke or serious, has edged out the Bowling Green group, and Concave still retains the USC as a subtitle."

It was a sort-of-spinoff from or resurrection of [[UpperSouthClave]] and retained the UpperSouthClave numbering system in parallel with the Concave numbering, but was clearly its own convention. See [[Gary Robe]]'s [[History of Concave]] for much more.

Concaves 1-5 were chaired by [[Pat Molloy]], 6-8 by [[Rickey Sheppard]] and 9-30 by [[Gary Robe]]. Numbers 31-41 were chaired by [[Claude Miles]] and 42-43 by [[Colleen, Logsdon]]. Concave was reorganized into a separate [[non-profit]] in 2009.

(Did you mean an Australian convention?)

A convention held in Western Kentucky since 1980.

UpperSouthClave had become attached to Kubla Khan, but at Kubla's Ninth Khanphony, Cliff Amos and Shelby Bush held an impromptu (they just did it in spite of not being part of the committee) UpperSouthClave site selection meeting and selected a convention they proposed to run in Bowling Green, KY as UpperSouthClave X. Events happened, and neither Amos nor Bush were able to organize their con, but passed the baton to a group of new fans and Concave 1 was created and held in 1980.

By the next year it was a Tradition. As Gary Robe wrote, "{After Concave 1/USC X}, Nobody else bid for the USC, so we decided to do it again. The site selection meetings have been a part of the Concave tradition ever since; to date, no other bid, either joke or serious, has edged out the Bowling Green group, and Concave still retains the USC as a subtitle."

It was a sort-of-spinoff from or resurrection of UpperSouthClave and retained the UpperSouthClave numbering system in parallel with the Concave numbering, but was clearly its own convention. See Gary Robe's History of Concave for much more.

Concaves 1-5 were chaired by Pat Molloy, 6-8 by Rickey Sheppard and 9-30 by Gary Robe. Numbers 31-41 were chaired by Claude Miles and 42-43 by Colleen, Logsdon. Concave was reorganized into a separate non-profit in 2009.
