Acrimonious convention held between July 10-17, 1965, during which delegates split the AA into Accidentalist and Associationalist camps. The delegates were especially aggressive and insulting. Several splinter movement grew from this conference, chiefly Accidental Action and the Association of Association. A third, Incidentalist faction never formed a group but has held an annual barbecue, the Incidentalist Dead Flesh Bonanza, to this day.
Alexandre Dacusse was arrested at this convention after he pummeled a young delegate who had referred to Wilhemina Forkes as a "fat Nazi whore." Dacusse didn't mind the insult, but he could not support the inaccuracy. As Adid later remarked, however, "Given that she was a skinny, prudish anarchist, the remark was quite accurate."
The conference was held in Reno, Nevada, whose city council voted unanimously to ban the AA from their city after a series of public brawls between delegates.
Generally considered to be the nadir of the AA. "When the bickering lost its fun," mused Stimes Addisson, generally thought to be drunk the entire convention.
