Caroline Spector playing in a band (I think it’s called Two-Headed Baby?) at the ArmadilloCon dance. Back in the day, ArmadilloCon used to have a dance on Saturday night.

Inflatable spaceships and astronauts at a room party. I think this was the ApolloCon party room. ApolloCon was a Houston, Texas science fiction convention. Like several other SF conventions in Texas (and sometimes neighboring states as well), it used to host room parties at ArmadilloCon.
