I will let the real gamers get back to you on your questions about conventions, but if it is okay with you I had a totally different question:
Anorei, I had a daydream today that one day your friendship with LushBoobs will have the the potential to end in epic fail. I don't want it to at all: in fact I want the best possible life for both of you fine ladies.
HOWEVER, it seems that with all things there is a honeymoon period that comes to an end. And one day, when one of you has failed the other (in something as simple as doing the dishes after promising to do so, or one of you has allocated money in a way the other never agreed to, or one day when utility bills somehow become a "front burner issue") and you two end up fighting.... that will just suck. That will be like some kind of greek tragedy when goddesses argue amongst themselves (for both of you are goddesses) and everyone suffers for it. I don't want things to come to any kind of uncivil end. Heck, I don't want ANYTHING you are doing to come to ANY kind of an end. Should you guys see a life coach or something to prevent any break in the current bliss, or do you think you already have the tools to handle any future conflicts "in house"? I am sorry to come off as so doom & gloom but I think sometimes it is wise to envision our "worst case scenarios" and have the solution already pre-planned.
P.S. YOU ROCK!
