Blackhawks Convention (1) Taking in Big Guns

So the Blackhawks Convention finally arrived, mid-summer, a few weeks after a disappointing Game 7 OT loss to the Kings in the Western Conference Final.  My sister Marinela was gracious to invite me to come for three awesome days of nothing but Blackhawks.  The Hilton Chicago was awash in red, and it was a matter of waiting for the 5 PM opening ceremonies.  It was a splendid summer afternoon downtown, and the hotel windows were draped with our big guns.  So off I sidled outside, taking in these life-size posters and admiring the commemorative Duncan Keith sweater for the convention.
