To con or not to con...

[erilyn]

I just can't make up my mind (like that's news to anyone).

lastrega has a lovely post here pimping next year's HLDU HLWW con in Sydney. I thought I'd decided against attending the con, but as I read it, these are some of the things that went through my head.

- Much of the fun I've had at previous cons (I've been to three of these) is because of the other people attending, and I could just catch up with them and party a bit while they're in Sydney.
- But it's not the same if you're not at the con, and staying at the hotel, if possible.
- It's $275 for the con, and $100 per night per person for a twin room at the con hotel. Pricey.
- The guest list is very interesting - Peter Wingfield, Adrian Paul, David Abramowitz, F Braun McAsh.
- Any or all might not be able to make it. It's the nature of cons.
- I haven't really been involved in HL fandom (or watched the show) in a while.
- Partying with fans! Interesting guests!
- Spork fans, particularly with Adrian as one of the guests, will almost certainly be there. And I had a few issues with how the last con was run. Didn't even bother to go to a few of the events, just prefered to hang out with people, or recover from the night before.
- All the fabulous people who I've met at previous cons who might be there again. They're the biggest reason I'm so tempted to go.

What shall I do? Of course, if I don't make my mind up soon, it'll probably be full and I won't have to decide *g*.

Either or, Sonia and I are going. I am sure there will be many a thing we can miss so that we can have some time away from all the crap *Sites examples a through m from last year* Either way we can all catch up ;)

Catching up with you guys is not optional - that'll definitely happen *g*.
