[edit] Name

The Radisson hotel on Boulevard South, RCFM's hotel from 2003 through 2008

Huntsville is known as "Rocket City" because it is home to the US Space and Rocket Center and its famous Space Camp, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Redstone Arsenal. Wernher von Braun and many of his team worked on much of their rocket while living in Huntsville, AL.

[edit] Wheel of Blame

The con has a "Wheel of Blame" with every RCFM staffer's name on it. The wheel, which was introduced at the second RCFM, is spun during the opening ceremonies and whoever's name it lands upon receives all the blame for any problems and mishaps during the entire con (aka Staff Member X). The wheel is then spun again at the closing ceremonies and whoever's name it lands upon is blamed for any problems the staff has until next year's convention.
