There's a conversation fen know. It goes something like this:
Mundane: "What're you doing this weekend?"
Fan: "Going to a convention"
M: "Oh? What sort of convention?"
F: "Science fiction"
M: "Oh."
And there it dies.

Today, with a coworker:
Coworker: "Got plans for the weekend?"
Me: "I'm going to a convention in LA."
C: "Oh, Westercon? I'm planning to go up for Saturday."

He proceeded to ask me if I was going to the memorial for Bruce on Thursday.
*blink* Look, a fan, right there in my office!

Yeah, I had some concerns along those lines, too, especially since I just started this job and don't know the guy very well.
