All conventions are very enjoyable. The more variety you do, the better.

I really do the conventions now for two reasons.

I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I'm perched on that edge where I'm getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though.

I thought this convention phenomenon was very flattering, but that's about the extent of it.

I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.

Conventions are unstated agreements within a community to abide by a single way of doing things - not because there is any inherent advantage to the choice, but because there is an advantage to everyone making the same choice.

Defying genre conventions is instantly a risky move.

The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.

I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself.
