Arisia?

[sauergeek]

A lot of people I know talk about going to Arisia and seem to thoroughly enjoy it. I have never been to Arisia, so I can't say. However, I have been to two other cons (Darkover (twice) and Balticon (once)), and never much saw the appeal. At the time, I lived close enough to the con that I did not stay in the con hotel.

Am I missing something? Did I just pick a pair of stinkers? I fail to see the appeal of cons, even though as far as I can tell I am right smack in the target audience.

I find Arisia largely fun for the people & a bit of shopping. The masquerade is usually good as well. Sometimes, the gaming room has good board games & such. I enjoy the filk also, though I rarely remember to go.

Balticon used to be more fun; I think they had better panels & gaming.

At any rate, it's worth a visit, I think. We'll be there. ;-)
