A couple of weekends ago, I made a drive back out to Pittsburgh to attend Confluence, a science fiction convention with a emphasis on writing. As that suggests it wasn't nearly as "visual" as a furry convention or even as other science fiction conventions go. It was mostly about books, writing, and writing books. :-P

The Dorsai Irregulars were providing security for that convention, and I was asked if I would be willing to work a shift for them while I was out there. I ended up working what turned out to be a very easy shift -- it took place while the convention put on its annual play. Nearly everything else was closed, so the majority of attendees were watching the play. So I ended up walking all 6 stories of the hotel (stopping by the con suite for coffee, of course!) a few times during that shift and otherwise spent it doing door duty with [livejournal.com profile] renegade_di. (It kinda balanced out the shifts I worked at MagFest, in a Zen sotra way.)

Like I said, this was a largely literary convention. Case in point, this was the Dealers Room:
Dealers' Room

I also went to a few room parties:
Carol Gobeyn, Rene Gobeyn, and T'Chall

And witnessed some origami porn:
Origami Porn

The rest of my Confluence pictures can be found here. Enjoy!

Poor kitty cat. I always have a soft spot for stray cats, although we are having quite a feral cat (different from ordinary strays) problem in this neighborhood.

I think that the cat will be just fine. It looked in pretty good condition. I'm sure that lots of travelers at that rest stop were feeding it. :-)

Small foxes can more easily work their way through crowds, you see...
