Con envy

[orangerful]

Here it comes...Convention season is about to hit full swing and I don't have a single one on my calendar.

I mean, I've been to SDCC, I *know* it's a crazy insane wilderness where half the stuff you see covered online are things that you, as a normal person, would never be able to gain access to anyway. But still...once those tweets and blog posts start showing up, I'm going to be like "OH I WANT TO BE THERE"

Or at least somewhere like it.

Not going to Dragon*Con this year either. I'm hoping that we can make that an every-other-year event. The only person I'm really sad I won't get to meet is Amy Acker but I'm crossing my fingers that, like most of the guests, she has so much fun she comes back for more D*C in the future.

I might try to go to Baltimore Comic-Con or Shore Leave but those Cons are so tiny and I tend to go to these things to meet the celebrities and hear them talk and neither of them have anyone I'm rabid over right now. But still, it might make a fun outting on a Saturday.

You media-con people and your big celebrity cons ::grin::

If you ever want a medium-size con with games nearly 20 hours and lots of science fiction & fantasy authors to enjoy & learn about for your patrons, try Balticon next May! It's a medium-size, delightful con with friendly people, some movie/TV panels and costumers as well as plenty of other stuff, and multiple dances.

I go to PAX too! That's more about games! ...though I do look for celebs while I'm there LOL. Hadn't heard of Balticon though, but since I don't really read a lot of SF/F the authors have to be pretty big for me to even recognize their names (unless I've shelved them as a Page). But still might be fun! How pricey is it?
