JohnO
Participates in 3 items
John has been reading Science Fiction and Fantasy as long as he can remember and has been attending conventions since 1978. He has volunteered at many conventions, but now works only the masquerade, does panels, and takes lots of pictures. John has been in the computer industry for over 20 years, working on email, anti-spam & anti-virus systems. Much to his surprise he is now a costumer as well. And he plays big Taiko drums.
