ConDor 2005

<P>
<B>ConDor Report 2005</B> ConDor was held over the Easter weekend at the Mission Valley Marriott (3/25 – 3/27).  ConDor is a very literary convention with a small dealers room and lots of book & craft vendors. I went to the Mysterious Galaxy booth to meet my two friends. We chatted for a lonnng time, because that is what you do at this type of convention. Then we walked around the Art show. Some of the art was very good and some was obviously amateur. I appreciated all of it, except that too much of the art were prints instead of originals. One really cool piece was made entirely out of tree bark & leaves.

At 6:00 the dealers room closed and I wandered around and found the SG1 Rally Point Room. http://www.sg-command.net/ The local Stargate group had 2 rooms set aside to have a mini-con within ConDor. SG-10 is the California group. They had lots of props from the TV show. It was the Best thing ever! I was drooling!

There were the standard things going on also, like a Gaming room, special Guests and Panels. There was a Masquerade Saturday evening at 8:00. The Costumes were great and the 3 that did skits were good. The whole thing ended at 8:45 and that included the Judging and Awards. Quick and to the point! Sorry, I don't have pictures, but I am sure the pictures will be posted on the ConDor website soon. But it won't do the Best in Show ladies any justice. They looked Great close up. Very fine workmanship. The website is &nbsp; <A HREF="http://www.ConDorCon.org/">http://www.ConDorCon.org</A>
After the Masquerade we chatted with more people for about 30 minutes and then went home. It was a very good day.

ConDor Swag - consisted of not much. I came late so maybe I missed a few things, but I doubt it. It is all about chatting & books at this Con. It was kind of refreshing.
There where Amityville Horror lenticular postcards & posters. Posters for Dragons, the movie and Aeon Flux rubberstamps that were the most different thing I saw.
