Image via WikipediaI went to my second sci-fi convention this past weekend, Polaris in Richmond Hill. Three days of fan fun. This was quite a different gathering than my first one a couple of months ago at Ad-Astra. That one was a writer's con and geared towards the business of publishing and writing. Polaris is truly a fan convention, a gathering of fans of sci-fi/fantasy in all forms. It's the kind of con that is parodied by the popular media.
Is it as strange and fanatical as the media portrays them? Or are these the people who are healthy because they have found an outlet for the stresses of life?
