Here I am at Logan Airport Boston, getting ready to board a flight to Southern California for "LA-Con 2", the 1984 Worldcon. Despite the ominous year name, the convention was more playful than Orwellian. I did a lot of conventioneering in the 1980s and 1990s, showing original art I had painted, but my successes were sporadic and I never got the big career as a fantasy and science fiction artist that I wanted. But I did make lifelong friends, some of whom would be at this convention.
