CONVergence !!! Anyone going???

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

For my 6th year in a row, I will be going to CONVergence at the Sheraton Bloomington. Much to do today before I leave tomorrow afternoon. 4 Fun Filled days of movies, panels, and parties!!!

Hope to see some of you there!!!

I'll be there.  Doing a little volunteering.  Doing a little partying.

I won't be there.  I asked for the weekend off to go, and instead my boos decided to make me work 7 days in a row over the holiday weekend...

I'm there now!
-Waiting for the wife to come back to the room for a change of clothes for the evening parties. (Our motel room is in the north tower and I can reach the free WIFI from the Caribou across the parking lot.) Went to the Steampunk and the "Skeptics 101" panels, caught the end of the movie "Beetlejuice". Looking forward to playing in a music jam at 11:30 tonight.

A couple songs to give people a flavor of things

So much for the jam, it seemed to be more of just a filk* song sing-along

Someone took a pic of me being held by the throat by "Riddick" and gave me their card to watch for their photos, post if I find them. Off to bed...

I have a few photos from this weekend up.  I'll post the rest in a bit, or perhaps tomorrow - kind of tired.

What a GREAT CONVergence weekend!!  I was in Vampire and Steampunk the first two nights wearing Black wigs, makeup, Black and Red ensembles, walking around with a newly purchased cane to give me support for my bad knee.

Wonderful panels, great movies at Cinema Rex, outstanding Masqurade, and so many parties to go to!!

I will miss CONVergence in 2010 due to a Family Reunion in Upstate New York and Bicentennial celebration of my husband's home town of Montgomery. I have been asked by several to partake in panels for the 2011 CONVergence.

Photos are in the process of being downloaded.

Needless to say, I had a lot of people stopping me to take my picture both on Thursday and Friday evenings. I will be in a  lot of people's photo ablums.

CONVergence was a TOTAL blast!!! Lots of poeple asked me where did I get the Hat! Gave them a  business card and let them know I made it!!!

Ack!  I apparently neglected to post the link; since facebook is blocked at work, I'll have to do that when I get home. 

Sorry about that!
