No APhiA convention this year, but I have attended three other NPHC conventions in some capacity.
In 2005, I visited the Zeta Phi Beta 85th Anniversary Celebration in DC (which was not a convention, more like a leadership summit). I went to hang out and meet some internet buddies, but then I found myself co-vending with another Alpha whose publisher had bought a table for him. I met a lot of people, sold a lot of books.
In 2009, the Kappas came to DC to the same hotel the Zetas were at in 05 and the Alphas were in 06 for Centennial. I was there to visit their literary salon/vendor section to see if what they did could be implemented for Alpha (I was the national Arts & Humanities Committee chairman at the time). It was weird being at another fraternity's convention, but still fun. Their vendor area was HUMONGOUS. At least three times the size of the vendors the Alphas had.
Finally, in 2011, I was downtown when the Omegas came to town. Nothing official, just wanted to be around the Ques.
I met some Quettes (Omega wives) and had an awesome conversation.
