omg it's only 73 more days until Dragon*Con! So close and yet so far away.
I have to say, conventions are amazing things. I've never been to a work-related convention because the idea just boggles my mind, but fandom related conventions are love.
As a fan of so many cult shows, even major cults like Buffy or Star Wars, it's not easy to know

I adore the idea of conventions. I have since ages ago. I've wanted to go to one since I was a kid. But I haven't made it yet. One reason, for a long time there weren't any I knew of near me. Though I know about some now, I haven't had the money to attend since I discovered them, or I haven't been able to make the time (one or the other). I would have loved to have gone to DragonCon this year, but considering the lateness of the date and the fact that I still don't have the money, it's probably not going to happen. It seems like the kind of thing you need to plan for (and get a room for) well in advance. But I am determined to go at my first opportunity! A chance to mingle with my own kind! How exciting!
Do you dress up when you go to Cons? How many have you been to?
Hopefully whenever I get the chance to go, we can meet and hang out in person there!

And, honestly, if you don't stay in a host hotel, you can get a room relatively easily for D*C. There are plenty of hotels in Atlanta, but I do recommend getting a group together so you can split the cost of the room. I do love staying at the Marriott though, if only for the late-night people watching from the balcony with maybedeadcat and I did a lot of last year.
SOME DAY! Don't put it off too long! It's too much fun to miss out on! :D

I had a friend who went last year and she said that next time she would stay in a host hotel because of a, b, and c... So that was part of my reasoning. And yet another friend, who educated me on the ins and outs of DragonCon last year told me about all the perks of staying in a host hotel, so now I really want to do that... Also, considering I wouldn't want to drive in Atlanta, I'm not sure how much I would end up paying in public transit costs. And yeah, I need to get up some people to share a room. A couple friends and I, as well as some of their friends were going to go year before last, but we just couldn't get things together in time.

Well, I will keep you posted for next year, try to help you get a room. I mean, yeah it's def. awesome to stay in a host hotel BUT I wouldn't not go because I couldn't get in to one. You should just put it on your bucket list for 2013! WE WILL SEE YOU THERE! :)

Is there any sort of Con within your reach?

Actually, of all the cons, PAX is probably the least expensive since we can crash with my friend bittertwee. So you just have to help pay for gas, have money for food, and some fun money. Not too bad. I will keep you posted when badges go on sale! YOU ARE COMING TO PAX 2013!!!!!!!
