I thought File 770 readers might like to know about “BentoCon, A Science Fiction Convention and Square Dance,” AKA Kate’s and my 50^th birthdays and 20th wedding anniversary party, held September 9th-11th in Portland Oregon.  We had about 100 invited guests, including fans, square dancers, mundane friends, and relatives, and it all went off smashingly.  You can read my convention report at http://davidlevine.livejournal.com/242650.html.
