i've been going for three years, and it's fantastic..
but exhausting, due to the heat.

be prepared, though..last year there were approximately 20,000 people
taking part in the con over Labour Day weekend. it's nearly impossible
to find a close hotel now, and the registration rates are sort of
steep, unless you pre-reg at the con or shortly thereafter.

it's worth it, though! bring a camera! if you like to check out the
awesome job people do on costumes of all sorts and all genres...well,
you'd be in heaven.

i'll be sporting the Evil Queen/Queen Mirror from Brothers Grimm this
year, on Friday..attempting to keep the heatstroke at bay. if i don't
die from heat exhaustion, i'll do the Fabrications contest on Friday
night.
say Hi if you see me! :D
