It was a very small convention for people who help run science fiction conventions, but included a lot of people from anime cons as well as from the "fannish" cons I do. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences. And everybody was very friendly.W.

I sure hope Congress is preparing to oppose a declaration of emergency.Alan in CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516051777407876376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-86797558101067549122019-01-06T12:12:11.889-05:002019-01-06T12:12:11.889-05:00Gingerbread and marshmallows with sparklers!
