This past weekend the Twin Ciies was host to one of its larger Sci Fi conventions Convergence. It is a 4 day Con with guests and panels and a great deal of people watching. This years Con had a very special meaning for me, lasy year I was in a coma for most of it and missed the entire thing. I spent much of the last few months trying to get my endurance up so I could be at the Con.

I ended up working during the day Friday, so I hit the convention hard Friday night and then Saturday and Sunday. I was able to connect with a wide array of my friends and acquaintances, letting them know I was still alive and doing well. I had brought my wheelchair, walker, and crutches. I managed to do the entire event on crutches, this was a milestone for me, several months ago I tried to transition to crutches but was unable to maintain my balance, this weekend I logged 5 and a half miles on them without issue.

Worked up some cosplay things but physical limitations prevented me from doing it the best I could. Mrs. ZM and I have some ideas for next year when I will be hopefully fully put together.  Mrs. ZM did five or six different costumes and looked fantastic in all of them especially her steam punk lea and Black Canary.

I was exhausted by the time we were home, the whole family slept for ten hours and we have great plans for next year.
