I'm always a little uneasy at all "ventions." Looking forward to meeting anyone and everyone. And of course perhaps getting into a reasonable amount of trouble... Eric Lindberg

Enter the convention room and everyone is standing with fingertips to the temples, conversing without speaking. If you see a bunch of us with our hands jammed in our pockets -- it's cool; we're just pocket writing.

brucewilcox Loyal user Readers advised to disregard most of my 266 Posts	Posted: Mar 19, 2015 12:59 am 0 2013 was my first and Danny, Robert Allen and the entire crew were welcoming, friendly and just plain great. I'm still lamenting not making it in 2014, but I'm working VERY hard to be there this year. I like the size of this convention. It's large enough that you can hang back and be a little more anonymous if you wish, but it's small enough to not get lost in the crowd. And, man, everyone's so nice - I had lovely conversations in 2013 with David Thiel, Joe Atmore, Jan Forster, Rainer and Thomas from Paralabs, Tony Miller, and many more, and I even made Docc Hilford laugh. So, anyone shy about being a first-timer - don't be. You'll love it. ...in the Land of the Free, and the Home of the B'Wave.

Philly 609 Posts	Posted: Mar 19, 2015 07:36 pm 0 Thanks for the kind word Bruce and I agree... the feeling at MINDvention is different than what people who have only attended magicians conventions experience. Everybody is so open and approachable... hope to see you back this year Bruce!
