Shoreleave 2010 A Report
I am going to put a lot of this behind a cut because between the Photos and the text, this one is a little longer than usual.
Overall, we had a great time. Shoreleave is one of those conventions were the more you go, the more you are part of this large family that goes every year. I have been going to Shoreleave for 13 years now and have enjoyed every year of it. The con committee throws a fine convention both for the guests and the fans. Caroline had a great time in Children’s programming this year. (In fact she is now as old as Ariel was when I went to my first Shoreleave and Ariel loved the Children’s programming then too.)
The Roast went well. The Masquerade was fun for more than one reason. Mystery Trekkie Theater had a good turn out and was a lot of laughs. The Art Show was nice as always. I really liked their set up this year.
Then there were a couple of surreal moments of the weekend with the biggest probably being watching the World Cup final in the bar along with Edward James Olmos and Katie Sackoff. Mr. Olmos had the flag of Spain draped over his broad shoulders. And the outcome made him a very happy man.
On the way home we heard about Harvey Pekar’s passing. Peter and I reminisced about the time at DragonCon we spent a fun evening with Harvey and Joyce discussing all kinds of subjects. It was one of those rambling conversations that went from A to B then skipped to R before going back to C.

I am grateful to everyone who works so hard to give us such a great convention.
