If ConDor were a person, it would be your favorite uncle from out of town who visits once a year and brings toys and games. You know, the one your parents aren't too happy with, because he shoots from the hip and always tells the truth, no matter what.

ConDor is a comfortable convention. You can actually find time to sit in the big comfy chairs in the hotel lobby and gossip for a while, or even just read a book. You can meet all your old friends here, and make a bunch of new ones.

If ConDor were a tv show, it would be "I Dream of Jeannie," where science fiction and fantasy get along happily together, along with a little romance and some healthy laughs.

If ConDor were a zoo...well, hey, there are some who say it is! But it's a happy little zoo, where there aren't any bars on the cages, and, in fact, nobody is completely sure who are the exhibits and who are the visitors!

Come to ConDor, the convention that isn't afraid to mix metaphors.

You can literally taste victory on this hunt, which combines tricky questions and a challenge to sample some of the best foods in the Reading Terminal Market and in nearby Chinatown, while discovering other surprises in the neighborhood. Bring $10 cash for food purchases. (We ask you to bring cash so that you can have a wide range of food options to suit your taste and diet. We’ll point you toward our favorites, but the ultimate choice is between you and your tummy.)

Price: $20 per person. Advance purchase is required via http://www.watsonadventures.com. Questions? Call 877-9GO-HUNT.
