Yep, that's it. An old-fashioned scifi con, by fans, for fans IE: Non-commercial. spend 3-4 days hanging out at a hotel, singing filk songs, meeting allsorts of people, talking about books, movies, comics, drinking too much and generally having a ball with like-minded weirdos. Lots of great memories, & many friends I only see there. Others in this area include Radcon (Pasco, WA on Pres. day weekend) and Spocon (Spokane, WA, start of August). Other than going to Colorado/New Mexico highest on the list of things I miss most of what I've have had to give up for lack of $$$ the last 6 years or so. I was hoping to make Spocon this year but who knows if it will even happen. Things scheduled for May are being cancelled/postponed around here (Eastern Washington) now.
