Wow, I’ve had a great time at the Science Fiction Convention! I’ve met and talked to some really interesting people, and had the pleasure of demonstrating the new BF Carbon Truss Telescope to some of them, while sharing my enthusiasm for astronomy too.
I’ve also managed to raise a little bit of money for Relay For Life with the generous purchase of the scope by a number of people. As I write this, the Con has raised over L$1.1 million for RFL! That’s a fantastic result, and we still have today to push it higher!
A big thank you to Merky (rickmerk), Beth Delaunay (isilmeriel), Starwolff (starwolff2000), and Benjamin Brougham for the sim builds, and all the other organizers, event managers, exhibitors, and helpers that made such a wonderful event possible. This was my first time as an exhibitor at a major event, but it certainly won’t be my last!
I hope you’ve had time to visit, and if not, this is your last chance as the Convention closes today! So, run and have a look before it’s all gone for another year!
I’ll leave you with this photo on the bridge of a starship. Of course, Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup is standard fare between the stars 😉
