One of the best parts of any con are getting to see friends from all over the world. I had not seen some of them since Leeds and others I have never met face to face. I very much look forward to seeing my friends from around the world. That alone makes it worth the journey, the event itself is really icing on the cake. A grand excuse if you will, I lay the blame on the charity auctions. Yes , that's right....I do it for the kids....
