This convention marked the first time I'd seen my dear friend Blake and his new friend Jenn since Orycon. Blake and Jenn had met, in the dealer's room, in the waning Sunday hours toward the end of that very con.

They were introduced by mutual friend Callie Hills, in the middle of one of those little end-of-con conversation clusters that inevitably develops. Everyone present at that meeting knew instantly that these two had scads in common and would make a great couple. Not surprisingly, they're quite the item now.

No pressure, guys. But you just look soooooo cuuuuute together. :-)
