This year, CONvergence (the largest Sci-Fi convention in town) hit 10 conventions old. This was the 10th CONvergence, and for the special anniversary, they expanded to FOUR days from the normal three. Again, it was at the at the Bloomington Sheraton, from July 3rd thru July 6th. Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca of SW Fame) was there as one of MANY special guests. In honor of Indy IV, I wore my Indy IV "gear" all four days of the con. Here are my pictures from the weekend. Just click on them for the full size shot. As before, see you next year at CONvergence!
