Sometime in the late eighties, either the year or the one before the Berkeley Convention, 
I believe [[Hot]] placed an ad in the East Bay Express looking for puzzlers, probably cryptic
puzzlers.  The ad said something about meeting at "Eskymo Jose."  That was easily transposed to 
Smokey Joe's, a local greasy spoon in my neighborhood.  Further, the ad said to "wear a pencil," 
which I somehow pinned on my lapel.  [[Hot]] likely remembers the details better than I.  By the 
way, I suck at cryptics!

Soon afterwards, we began the famous Equinox Parties in which I've enjoyed participating.  Many Con 
puzzles have come from these fabulous parties.

====== Recruits =====

None.

====== Nom ======

My connection with words and puzzles has always been through Scrabble.  I've been a tournament 
player since 1975 and have won more than 50 tournaments.  Hence TILE (as in Scrabble tiles) GOD. 
Furthermore,  TILEGOD is a 2-letter transdeletion from [my surname] GOLDSTEIN.
