Here in the UK there are very few interesting events. Ho hum, I’ll stay in tune via bloggers like yourself. I came here via your tweet by the way. Keep up the good work!

And it’s not Americans who get to go to cool expos, it’s San Franciscans.

There are so many hobbyists like this in Ontario but they never seem to have cool conventions
