Politics and Pittsburgh may have been going hand in hand in April of 2008, but for romance fans from around the world it was ground zero for the best time - the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention. No matter your party affiliation, we were all voting for a wonderful time with the greatest people on earth - the members of the romance community. Take a look and let the photos tell the story this time...
The architecture blends old and new - lovely!
We couldn't wait to explore - here's Gary, Paula, Serena, Jaymi and JoAnn pondering - not the buildings but that age old question...where are we gonna eat dinner?
Pittsburgh is a lovely city nestled in river valleys. It welcomed us with warm spring sunshine - and the bustle of their upcoming political primary!
Sahara kicked things off with Amanda McIntyre, hosting three seminars for newcomers to the convention.
Morgan was so happy to meet everyone and we were just as thrilled to welcome her to her first RT Convention.
Here's Morgan with Scott and Sahara - Morgan is no longer an "RT Virgin".
Scott is always ready to lend a helping hand wherever needed.
So when Hussy Ciana gets a few feet off the ground, he's there with a steadying hand.
Hussies Nathalie Gray, Ciana Stone and Nicole Austin enjoy the wonderful sunshine.
Sahara and Nic join Serena, Jaymi and Jen for a laugh.
Scott and his "angels"? The FAR girls always work their tails off - we can't find the words to tell them how much we appreciate all that they do! We hope they know how much we love them!!
A rare moment of introspection for Scott as he stands in line with Nic Austin and Nat Gray behind him.
Here he's getting a cuddle from the luscious Dakota Cassidy.
