The Things That I've DunDraCon
Once more I flee the gray skies of a Chicago February for the sunny Bay Area, and wouldn't you know it's actually supposed to be sunny this time out! My technical excuse for such flight is itself back out, namely, DunDraCon 45, now in the Santa Clara Marriott after oh so many years jammed into the San Ramon Marriott. Lots to see and learn and do at the old-new newly-sunny show, such as:
