What's the story behind Pennsic XXV - "cheap gold watch"?
How about Pennsic XXV a\k\a "Pleasantly Pennsic" (since we actually had
lovely weather that year?) or "Silent Drum Pennsic" (because wasn't this the
Pennsic they instituted quiet sections/hours so the drums actually
had to stop beating past 1 a.m.?)
