A hoax bid for Worldcon in Tallahassee, capital of Florida, in 2001. Its motto was "Tallytown's Fun in 2001" and the con would be named TesserCon 2001, with a tesseract as it logo. The ad (below) appeared in Suncon's Progress Report 4 in 1977, and it is plausible that Brad Linaweaver, who lived in Tallahassee at the time, may have been involved, though it does not seem that chairman "Big Lee"'s PO Box 6632 was in common use by him.
