Zebra Con/1987

==Zebra Con 7 (1987)==
Zebra Con 7 was held October 10–13, 1987 in the Chicago area near the O'Hare airport. It was billed as the Starsky & Hutch/The Professionals convention.
There were 167 attendees and 23 supporting members.
Some of of it was videotaped and sold, but in October 1988, some fans were concerned that they'd not reviewed the tapes for which they had paid."One thing I'd really been looking forward to was receiving the video tapes made at Z Con, but I haven't heard from [M C] since April or May, and my check hasn't been cashed yet. Has anyone else received their copies? I've really been looking forward to reliving the con thru the tapes!" -- from Tell Me Something I Don't Know! #9
The con skit was "The Thousandth Goliath," a parody of two zines, The Thousandth Man and Goliath.

==In Case of TPTB Presence==
From the program book: "Only members of ZEBRA CON are allowed in the dealers rooms. Should Dave Rogers and/or Brian Clemens wish to see the dealers rooms, a special time will be set aside and all dealers informed, so they can stay or close as they wish."

===Some Art Show Tidbits===
The below is from the program book:
The erotic art had its own section.
Art subjects: "All artwork must be genre-related (cops, spys [sic], and agents). Other roles of the various actors and actresses are acceptable, but please exercise good judgement. There are other markets for SF, fantasy, etc."
Who's the boss? "[Jean C] is BOSS. All questions, suggestions, and complaints should be directed to her, and her decisions are final. ("When in doubt, the answer is 'no'.") Zebra Con reserves the right to change any or all of the following rules if the need arises."
From the program book: "The Art Show will, as usual, be videotaped. If you do not wish your work to be on the tape, please tell Jean when you check in."
==Contests==
From the program book:
One of the contests was a trivia contest (prize was a free membership to next year's con). A fan later congratulates another fan:

Zebra Con/1993

==Zebra Con 11 (1993)==
Some convention facts:
* the Pros VHS tape that sold during the charity auction was a rarity: a NTSC format tape of the Pros episodes "Wild Justice" and "Involvement". It sold for $37.
* The skit , Pair 'o Strokers, was a MUNCLE-themed con skit written by Paula Smith. It was a takeoff on the zine Perestroika. The skit begins with Kuryakin having been declared dead, and Solo mourning at his grave in Moscow. The caretaker at the cemetery turns out to be Illya in disguise, and Solo sweeps him grandly back to the States, and installs him at his palatial mansion. After a few plot twists and turns, with Solo nearly losing Kuryakin at one point, true love between partners is achieved, and everyone lives happily ever after.
* The art show featured a twelve-part series of drawings called Harlequin Errs, a parody of Harlequin Airs.
* ZebraCon shared some space with a up-tight, up-right children's dance convention, and there was conflict. A filk called "The Nasal-Sprayin', Tylenol Carryin', Smack Shootin' Lesbian Blues" by Michelle Christian was written in honor of the convergence of these two planets. The filk was published in Chalk and Cheese #12.
* The convention raised $800 for the Pediatric Aids Foundation, which was also chosen as the charity for 1995. Items donated for auction at this ZebraCon included Starsky and Hutch action figures, posters, books, magazines, games, and the record album recorded by David Soul). Media artist Suzan Lovett donated a commission piece that sold for over $200. by Karen Ann Yost (1994)
* Writers Contest Winner: Alexfandra for "Hotel Sweet" (Professionals) (a copy of the story was printed in the post-con progress report)
* Karen Eaton won the Best Cartoonist Huggy Award via a write-in vote. She submitted a thank you message to the post-con report"

Zebra Con/1995

==Zebra Con 12 (1995)==
It was held October 13-15, 1995.
The Zebra Con t-shirt for 1995 depicted various fan favorites as characters from Shakespeare. Starsky was Puck and Hutch Oberon. Doyle was Ariel and Bodie Hamlet. Illya and Napoleon appeared also, as Duncan and Petruchio. They were based on Suzan Lovett's interpretations.
The con skit was “Disaster of the Drivels,” a parody by Paula Smith of the zine, Master of the Revels. 
There were 155 registered members listed in the program book. All members were listed by legal name (first and last), their city of residence, and their hotel room number. By the time of the third progress report (Sept 1995), there were still 8 names on the waiting list.
This year the convention struggled to meet their "room quota." If they did not meet the quota, the cost of the function space increased. This was noted in the third progress report in Sept 1995:
In spite of this the event was capped at 225 people.
The progress report also pointed out other attendee shortcomings:

In 1997, one attendee advised:
In 1997, Shoshanna posted a two part convention report to the Virgule-L mailing list. The first part deals with Zebracon and the second part focuses on a follow-on convention she attended, Eclecticon: 
In 1997 Jane Mailander posted the following convention report to the Virgule mailing list. It is reposted here with permission:
In 1997, Morgan Dawn posted the following convention report to CI5 List. She then posted a private version with editorial comments in brackets to a private mailing list, once again proving that fandom and snark go together like Bonnie and Clyde (and often can result in the same notoriety when, 15 years later, they are persuaded to post their unedited comments on the Internet):
