CONVENTIONS
Attending conventions and similar events is one of my favourite activity. The atmosphere and company found there has an unequalled feeling of camaraderie, not found anywhere in the trendy conformist "real" world.

Below is a list of conventions I've attended, reports and gallery of pictures.
