A few years ago, Cthulhu Coffee began traveling the U.S. convention circuit and reporting its discoveries and misadventures through this web site. Our experiences have been quite entertaining to us, and we hope that you enjoy them as well. Find out what other conventions are like! Hear about how we threw aliens off the hotel balcony at Supercon! Learn why you should never, ever drink Thai whiskey!

Enjoy!

Diversicon "Linoleum... in... space!" Adventures in a train depot with a lot of alternative-lifestyle folks.
