Conventions
When I learnt that Kevin would come to Belgium, I was very pleased. I didn’t know the f.ac.t. s convention yet. My time schedule allowed for a visit on Saturday. At rather short notice there was the possibility to meet Kevin in person on Friday. I couldn’t do this. I was rather annoyed with this, but I couldn’t start my journey before Friday, 4 pm. Driving on the motorway on Friday is always an ordeal.
Traffic jams without end. The first stage to my overnight accomodation was 400 km.
On Saturday morning the Belgian motorways were free. Unfortunately I had to observe the speed limit.
I was there early and was able to look at all the booths of the dealers before the beginning of the autograph session. We met in front of the autograph booths. I was pleased to see you again.
The hall was filling only slowly. I was able to take nice pictures of Kevin. Some of these pictures you can see on our club homepage. There has been much to talk about and there was rather much time to chat. Later, when the autograph area was crowded, I had a little look-around. There were very interesting fancy dresses. I also took some photos here. For not to miss Kevin’s Q&A, I went immediately after the cosplay competition to the very small room where this Question&Answer round took place. This was absolutely right. The Q&A with Kevin had been advanced. Now I applied the video function of my refley camera for the first time. I recorded about 20 minutes. My arm almost dropped off. My camera is weighing 2,7 kg, together with the objective I use. Without a stand this is a heavy strain on the arms.
You can download the video as a flash file from my homepage (andromeda-space.de) or watch it there directly. I hope you’ll enjoy watching it as much as I do.
After the Q&A with Kevin I had to say good bye. My journey home (600 km) proceeded without any traffic jam, fortunately. I hope to be able to meet Kevin soon somewhere „close-by“. With sufficient time for plannig a club meeting will certainly be possible. I’m looking forward to it right now.
Kind regards
Ralf
