The Con Experience

This photo represents much of my convention experience. You can see Lord Bobbins in the background on stage introducing the convention. There are schemes afoot and explosive devices hidden throughout Paris and I am in the hallway talking about art. I have to be honest here, I've seen it before. I've been to all the TeslaCons and scores of other conventions over decades of fandom. I know the story already. I really don't need to see it again. So, when I go to conventions, I am there to see people I haven't seen for a year.
