Con report: FOGcon 3

The way I do cons is not typical, but I'm not a typical congoer. For one thing, I've only been to two cons in my life -- or five, depending on how you count: two alt.polycons and all three iterations of FOGcon, the third of which was this past weekend. For another thing, I go to this small science-fiction (and mystery and other genre fiction) convention and I'm not a fan. That is, I read a lot of mysteries and a little bit of science fiction, but neither is a "fandom" for me, and I haven't spent any time in fannish circles except by dint of my friends mostly being fans. At any rate, I hear that "the real con happens outside of the panels," and that people spend a lot of rewarding time reconnecting with all their fannish friends and/or hooking up, and if you know me at all, you know that's not exactly my speed.
