Andy is a clinical social worker at the Hamilton Center. He has held the club offices of Secretary, President, Chairman of the Board, and Sergeant at Arms. Convention offices include: (InConJunction & Starbase Indy) Conchairbeing, Security, Registration, Dealers' Room, Programming, Publicity, and Con Suite. He is currently the "Atmosphere" department for InCon, decorating the halls with various and sundry things.

Genre intrests? "Unless there's a chance of a ray gun or a spaceship, I'm probably not going to be interested. Exception to this rule is ESP stuff. I have a tendency to favor time travel, quixotic stories or those with a military flavor."

For accomplishments Andy says simply, "I've survived, so far." For goals, "Get at least one story published some time in my life." His hobbies, "Philosophical statements; Remaking society along the lines I think it should go."

Comments: "A pursuing Ferengi Assault Trader, disruptor damage to my warp drive controls, a nearby sun, and the slingshot-breakaway effect all resulted in my permanent "assignment" here on 21st Century Earth."

That explains it. We always wondered why someone like Andy would want to hang around with this crazy group.

I currently reside on the South-side of Indianapolis with my husband, Dillan, my Mom, Judy, and with our child, Cedar, plus all my mom's fur kids. ^_^. I can crochet almost anything. My specialties are snoods (aka crocheted hair nets) and beanie hats. I have also been known to make a few stuffed animals, pot holders, sweaters, and footies. I was Vice-President for Circle of Janus for 2011. I my spare time I crochet like a mad woman, watch many shows on TV like Stargate: Atlantis, Dexter, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, and many others. I also love to read. I just finished reading "New Moon" in the "Twilight" series. I am also an AVID Harry Potter fan. Many of my friends call me Molly Weasley. This is something I hold in high regard. Other than that, I am a Trekkie. I am proud to be one. My mom raised me on all things Star Trek and I have done the same with my eldest son, Corey. My youngest (Johnathan) just thinks it weird. There you have it. If you want to know more, just ask. Peas Out! Anjala

I've been a sci-fi fan for about as long as I can remember. My favorite genre shows have been TNG and DS9, probably, as well as a number of more obscure ones that had a habit of getting cancelled rather quickly. Does Lost count? I like some anime, too - Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc. I am a lifelong and shameless bookworm with catholic, rather than parochial, tastes (and nerdy-a** enough to find that last sentence witty). My favorite sci-fi author is William Gibson (of the A-#1 Neuromancer), but Madeleine L'Engle got me started. I'm also a big Lovecraft fan. In all mediums, my tastes in sci-fi run more to the hard-science, urban variety. If you can fly, you'd best have a jet pack on. I have been a pretty regular attendee of CoJ meetings since soon after I moved here in March 2005. My actual dues-paying has been less consistent. I've served as Fun Police the last two conventions, and will help out wherever needed. I really value this club. It fills a definite need, and the people are awesome.

Beckie is an underachiever who overachieves at very select things. She likes time travel, cooking, Neil Gaiman, the color gray, peppermint tea, the Indianapolis Colts and her fluffy little dogs. She dislikes dishes, pork, big scary dogs she doesn't know, Tim LeHaye, migraines, squash and the crinkle of cellophane bags. She was the Secretary for many years, and is the 2018 ConChair!

Past InConJunction Chair-Being

Attended a Star Trek at the Downtown Hilton in 1976. My 1st official con was Rivercon III in 1977. I believe Gordon R Dickson was the GOH Andy Offutt was there. Then I attended 2 Midwestcons in 1978 & 1979 & also in 1979 attended JustImagicon * in Memphis TN. I recall the flight was $360 or so - before deregulation - & the a big jet went down taking off Chicago - they apparently had a live TV view of where they were going !! Yikes. I became unemployed in Sept 1979 so I actually skipped the NASFIC in Louisville KY to save mmoney Got a subscription to Locus in the late 70s saw an ad about a meeting at the Holiday INN in March 1981 @ InConJunction I & joined COJ etc Your unofficial friendly neighborhood taxman Worked at IRS since 1985 Joined COJ at the March 14th? 1981 meeting for InConJunction I at the Holiday Inn at 21st & Shadeland Tried gaming from mid-80s to late 90's. Mostly as a result of botching my Chairmanship of the 1986 InConJunction. I signed us into the Adam's Mark - something else now - & invited Michael Whelan Artist GOH I was given an ultimatum on AGOH & I went & invited Clive Barker aka Books of Blood -- that was like maybe the 1st 6 months of my term but I did nothing else I guess for 6-8 months after all that.Heck I MIGHT have had a meeting during regular COJ meetings but I don't recall anything else. Almost impeached but I resigned. It was looking like I was going to be the GOH at a first class lynching ! You definitely don't go out with the last thing you hear being your neck bones snapping !! Anyway I was persona non grata for a couple years (at least I felt that way) & missed some meetings. I hung out with C James Yancey an original COJ member started gaming Champions super-hero or fantasy role playing for about a decade. But thew main thing they introduced me too was a Play-By-Mail PBM game called Hyborian War run by Reality Simulations Inc or RSI. Based on the Conan stories by Robert E Howard. you play one of 36 Hyborian - or non - kingdoms dreamed up by REH. Like Aquilonia spider-haunted Zamora Stygia etc. You have a kingdom with provinces characters armies troops etc. You get a kingdom setup fill out a turn mail it in - or email or fax - and all the players results are mailed. This was a growth industry in the late 70s-late 80s. There are still companies that do this. I played in various other games. I played this until 2000 or so quit & came back in 2006. I found a player fan group of players had built up mostly on what is known as The Road of Kings www.warbarron.com who not only discuss the game but politics books life sex etc. My kind of people. I have a ROK name. Hint I am an Amber fan. Mostly I hang out there .... To be continued
