memphis fandom got restarted in 1970 (after a small group in the early 1940s was dissolved upon being drafted for world war ii) with the formation of the mid-south fantasy association (msfa). in the late 1970s, they decided to put on a relaxacon, and after its success, decided to start putting on a yearly science fiction convention. several different names were used, before choosing midsouthcon as the permanent name for the convention. it was decided to start the numbering of this new midsouthcon at 2 since the name had been used before: midsouthcon 1 was held in huntsville, alabama, on june 20–22, 1980, and the very first deepsouthcon in 1963 was also named midsouthcon.

coil waste is a type of u.s. stamp made from damaged or unusable printing stock intended for use as coil stamps and is a term applied to several stamp issues of the late 1910s and early 20s. sometimes in the printing of coils on rotary presses, a number of stamps from the run were deemed unusable for coil production. instead of discarding these, the bureau of engraving and printing processed them through the flat-plate perforating machine to finish them as fully perforated stamps. these finished products are known as coil waste. while seemingly identical to normal fully perforated issues (which were printed on flat plate presses), coil waste stamps are distinguishable by their size: their designs are slightly wider or longer than normal because rotary press printing slightly stretches an image.
