Phood? What does that mean anyway? Well, for Phrolicon you just change the "F's" to "Ph's" like "Phila-delphia." And "Phood?" That's something you eat. At the convention's hospitality suite, fans brought or bought trays of goodies to munch on while they socialized. At the top is a hotel table well-stocked with munchies, which were usually cheese samples and raw vegetables. There was also soda or juice, stored in the hotel's bathtub in ice. Some suites had alcohol but you had to be careful with that. Under and around the tray are failed origami foldings from the master Mark. The bottom half shows two portraits. One is Carol Kabakjian, a longtime Philadelphia science fiction fan, serving the munchies. The other is Darrell Schweitzer, man of letters, writer and critic, literary luminary of Phili-fandom.
