This weekend, Kim and I are going to
Penguicon, a "Science Fiction and Open Source Software Convention" near Detroit. I've never actually been to a con before, so it should be a fun experience. This one's a little unusual with its "open source" aspect, but Kim figures that's a plus for me: if there's a time when the sci-fi side of things doesn't match my interests, I can go hang out with a bunch of Linux geeks and pretend I never abandoned them for a Mac. :) (I've still got at least some open source cred, since I've contributed a few bits of code to Firefox in the past.)
Any advice for how to have an enjoyable con experience? (I wonder if I should try to perform
my Silmarillion-inspired Simon and Garfunkel parody at one of the Open Filk nights. Hmm.)
