J.D. Lees wanted to get together with a few people and talk Godzilla. That’s all. Best Godzilla movie, favorite Godzilla villain, coolest Godzilla suit — that sort of thing. Don’t judge. At the time, Lees was a 37-year-old high-school science teacher who lived outside Winnipeg and had just started G-Fan magazine, a bimonthly devoted to Godzilla films and monster-friendly lifestyles. The guy wanted to meet new people. Circulation hovered around 100 subscribers, and when Lee and his fellow G-fans finally got together to discuss all things Godzilla, at a Howard Johnson near O’Hare — Chicago was centrally located, travelwise — 25 percent of Lee’s entire readership, or 25 people, attended.
