If you can swing it, I'd say go for it; I think this is probably the most fun con of the local ones. It's a more manageable size than Convergence and they get a good mix of writers and media fans and gamers and anime so it's more balanced than some of the others. No one gets left out, and my memory of the belly-dancing Klingons a few years back will be with me for awhile. Besides, if you show up, we can hang out. :-)))
