I just recently stumbled across this: link
(the Official N. American Queen Convention)
Very interesting!!!!! Detroit, MI 7/24-7/26.....Definitely in my neck of the woods!!! Anyone been to one of these things before?
I've been to 4 of them:
2010 - Detroit
2011 - Atlanta
2012 - Atlanta
2013 - Mississauga/Toronto
Love Breakthru. You will have an amazing time with Queen fans!
Of course I personally didn't know that much about the US conventions but if you're that close...go there...
A lot of places have trouble to organize a covention or a fan Day without screw themselfes finacially.
Greg, I believe you were the one that I gave my spot to in Detroit for the trivia finals (I'd won the previous year, was high score in the prelims, and wanted someone else to 'enjoy' the thrill/agony). I believe you got a Staying Power UK convention tee out of it.
All cons come with the good/bad. The Thursday night when so many show up and catch up and reacquaint always seemed to be the most enjoyable. Many will travel to local bars/landmarks on Friday and Saturday. A special video/bootleg or five is worth it, along with the Saturday morning Queen 'market'.
It's a worthwhile experience.

Hmmm, I don't think that was me you gave the spot to. I remember doing alright on the trivia, but someone else got a nomination or something!
