Convergence 2008!

Over the long weekend I attended Convergence, Minnesota's largest science fiction and fantasy convention.

This was the tenth anniversary of the convention and the programming was extended to include Thursday evening in addition to the usual Friday and Saturday evening events, and it worked out really well. In previous years, the convention has always seemed to end too soon but with an additional night it was just about right. There's some talk of doing it next year, though the official dates are July 3-5, and hopefully they'll be able to pull it off.

One of these days I should see about getting a panel going on real ritual magick for the convention. They already cover a number of speculative science fiction topics like FTL stardrives so I think some real esotericism could fit right in.
