Connotations is an annual multi-media, multi-fandom slash convention. We mix up serious meta, fannish squee, and occasional utter silliness for what we think might be one of the best weekends you can find. Connotations has wide-ranging discussion panels, as well as a vid show, a Moderately Tidy Dinner, the ever-growing charity raffle and the infamous and hilarious pimp session.
