Seeing the Sights at Historicon

 Hopefully, as this posts, I'll be well on my way to Historicon 2022, July 20-24, 2022 at the Lancaster Convention Center in beautiful, scenic Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  

I've got an overflowing slate of events I'm running/helping out with, starting at 2pm today.  I'm unsure how much free time I'll have, but I'll do my best to do my normal barrage of pictures around the con for the after-action report.
