Convention appearances

• BotCon 2001 - Petrangelo attended as an exhibitor, selling a version of "Instruments of Destruction" with more explicit and/or baffling lyrics.
• BotCon 2007 - Petrangelo was listed as a convention guest, but was incorrectly informed by BotCon staff for which day he was to turn up. He turned up on pre-registration day and spent several hours chatting with fans and trying to track down Brian Savage.
