It's TIME for my most favorite (and first) convention again, SPX! I first attended wayyy back in 2002 and met the most amazing lifelong friends along the way who have come to mean so much to me. Every year heading back to Rockville (I'm sorry, it is not "North Bethesda", LOL) and encountering so many familiar, loving faces makes me tear up, so don't judge me if I'm crying alone at my table!
