On Friday I was offered a temp job that will employ me for a few months. So I decided to attend the weekend-long Millennicon 22 Convention that I wrote about.

I drove by myself on Friday. That night I met the guest of honor, Steve Barnes (author of 23 novels, a martial arts instrucor teacher, and script writer), and he autographed my copy of Star Wars: The Cestus Deception. I hung out with the other science fiction fans and ended up eating, drinking, and attending sci fi-oriented lectures with folks I didn't know. But it was cool.

For those of you single dude, there were many HOT women at the convention. My eyes were in Heaven.

The next morning I woke up early and worked out in the gym for 45 minutes and then attended a Tai Chi class, which was included with the cost of the convention. Shortly after Mrs. Chef and Little Chef arrived to enjoy the rest of the convention with me. We ate lunch out, attended lectures, took pictures with storm troopers, jedi, sith, and a Klingon, and hit the indoor pool. After that we ran into one of my old friends at the convention and had dinner with him. After that, we attended the sci fi "masqurade" which was a costume and talent contest. It was interesting. My favorite character was a BBW sith lordess.

But first prize went to someone who looked, dressed and acted like Captain Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. After the show, Chef Chef and Toddler Chef retired and I hung out at different places with sci fi fans and chatted. One person was kind enough to serve me "Romulan Ale" - white wine with food coloring.

The nex morning Mrs. Chef attended the Tai Chi class while I attended different sci fi events with Little Chef. We took more pictures, partook in sci fi games, and ate lunch out. After that we checked out of our hotel, took final pictures, played 2 games, and left.

I was quite pleased with the Millenniconn Convention.

May the Force Be With You,

Italian Chef

Congrats on the job!

Where was the convention held?

Holiday Inn, Sharonville.

Why on earth do I know this?

Terpy, Lost In Space....

Sounds like you had a good time. Glad to hear you found some work.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'll need a new job come June, but at least my unemployment ends next week for a few months.

It is always easier to find something and to network when you are employed!

May you find your dream job and love it!
