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'm going to Arisia this year. I haven't been often (and the last time I was there didn't count, as I was being a minion for the fabulous madwoman who was feeding the staff den, so I didn't actually see the con), so my opinions aren't all that solidly grounded. I'm going to see the art show and the masquerade, and go shopping (the net is great and all but I'm fond of seeing people's work in person), and see a few people I don't see much, and possibly catch a panel or two that people I know are involved in or some of the filking.
