Counter Convention

The non-programmed part of any convention during which the fans entertain themselves with food and/or drink and/or conversation. Any party, open or closed, other than those sponsored by the convention itself qualifies, as do forays by any two or more fans outside the convention hotel to explore the city or to have a meal together. It's virtually everything that happens when the official programs close down, although many of them take place while program items are still going on.
