FKO Saturday






I was offline during FKO, but thought I'd share a few photos from the weekend instead of my regular Blathering. One of the big surprises of the weekend was the surprise attendance of Paul Kwinn, from California (see photo of Allison and Paul, above). Beckett, we missed you!

The photo below was taken in the main lobby of the FKO hotel and is of Paul, Melissa and Andrea.





One of the con highlights for me was getting to meet Mary Ellen's and Ed's young son, Corwin (see photo below). VERY cute and cuddly. He had obviously passed "Baby Cliche School" with flying colours...he cooed and gurgled, squirmed happily when being held, smiled at perfect strangers without reservation. There's nothing like a baby's devastatingly open and trusting (and toothless) smile to make one turn into complete mush inside:





Thanks to Tom Algeo for volunteering to take the picture!

The photo below is of Terence, asleep in the con suite on the first night of FKO. Probably recovering from his flight from Singapore! There is a rumour, by the way, that Terence may be moving to Toronto. Fingers crossed...





And the last photo is of Ellen Weingart, who became my favourite photo subject on the weekend, mainly because of her highly entertaining reaction whenever I brought out my camera. :-)
