Taking Over the World - One Convention at a time!
 

INTRO:

Conventions are a wonderful opportunity to help advertise Menewsha. So while I have yet to have the opportunity to attend one I am setting up a thread to help organize conventions a little more and help make it more clear what days they are and who is going.

Rules:
1. Follow ToS.
2. Be safe.
3. Have fun.
