cat_77 | Obligatory CONvergence Post

Here in MN there is a huge geek get together each year on the weekend of the Fourth of July. It is a convention known as CONvergence and has grown over the years from a two-day con to a four-day con with geeks of all walks of life well, converging in one place.

There are costumes and parties and panels and guests of honor and shopping and all sorts of things. Our kidlings at part of the group in charge of the Teen Room and, kinda by default, we're some of the Teen Room Moms for when something inevitably goes horribly wrong. So far, in two years, the worst was kicking people out of the room come 2 am while drunks were roaming about, so that's not bad.

Anyway, thought I would actually make a post about it as it is coming up pretty quickly now. For con-related updates, there is

CONvergenceCon and for live feed twitter updates during the con, they are going with #cvg2013 this time as the tag.

Debating doing a costume this year, possibly of Helena from Orphan Black, but don't know if I want to try to wrap three feet of hair up into curlers. I guess we'll see the day of because, really, it's not like I actually do something as sensible as plan this in advance - that would be silly. *g*
