770

from Fancyclopedia 2

The otherwise undistinguished NOLaCon's gifts to fandom were the exposure of the Lee Hoffman Hoax and this most famous of smoke-filled rooms. It was a two-day session in room 770 of the St. Charles Hotel -- Max Keasler's room -- and noted for the vast quantities of gin and creme de menthe disposed of [separately, we hope] and the amount of noise that filtered out of the room thru the ventilating system.
