Have you ever been to a convention? If so, what kind?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

National Black MBA Conference

That's, uh, interesting.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If it counts - I was a member of my high school's tiny JSA chapter (Junior State of America, sometimes jokingly called the Jewish Students Association because the largest chapters almost always had an overwhelming portion of Conservative or Orthodox Jewish members - mainly from New York.)

[It was essentially a national debating club and had no official political leaning, but our region was, as one might assume, firmly left-of-center with a very pro-Israel tilt.]

Great memories from the regional conferences, but precious few at my high school had serious interest in politics and even most of the students in my chapter saw it as more of a social club, which really sucked.  I'm pretty sure it dissolved after I graduated, because no underclassmen had signed up and our teacher-advisor intended to step down the next year.
