Bermuda Triangle Bid

A hoax bid launched by Neil Rest at L.A.Con II for the 1988 Worldcon. The support the bid received as Rest was thinking about it caused John Guidry to launch his own Worldcon bid for New Orleans the same night. The bid is also referred to as The Boat.

NOLACon 2 won the vote with the Bermuda Triangle coming in second in a field of four. By the end of the con where voting was conducted, Rest was begging people to vote against the Bermuda Triangle.

Bidders: NOLACon 2, Cincinnati in 88, St. Louis in 88.
