It's happening again...I can feel it

Ironically enough, I'm writing this on a Friday afternoon before the monthly PRSFS meeting.

P returned from the Great American Desert, where Convergence is held every Independence Day weekend, and had much news, most of it amusing in a "ha-ha, funny!" way and some of it amusing in a bitter, cynical "LOOK HOW STUPID YOU ARE" way.
( LOLWUT? )

other peoples' problems, convergence, the bush of fandom

While security was much tighter this year and I did not agree with their blocking one of the entrances to the 1st floor cabana walkway with security tape on Thursday, I did not hear of anything that was directed specifically at anime fans.

Good.

Glad to see that mistakes of the past aren't getting repeated. Mind you, I haven't been to Convergence recently, so I'm not sure what things are like now. But definitely glad.

For what my opinion is worth, I think you'd like it. It is what the Big Minicons were, but larger and better run.

It is ironic that Minneapolis fandom now has what you proposed way back when, only even more so. Last time I looked, there were seven other conventions catering to fans of one sort or another, not counting the gaming convention(s). It's a good thing.

I hope they don't blow up the con until I get a chance to taste the Kool-Aid. (I'm leaning towards attending next year. Could be a big mistake, but if I wanna run screaming into the woods I won't be far from home.)

Well, from what burnunit said, the problem is not a general one, and it is going to be Addressed. So, yeah. Sign up early, you'll feel better about not wasting so much money if you do (God forbid) run screaming off into the night.
