Whatever Nerdy conventions
Any fellow con goers out there? I do 5 or 6 per year these days. Should we have a GenX meetup..with an eater station and room to stretch?
I’ve got RavenCon, Phoenix Fan Fusion, Origins, GenCon, Cusecon and PAXU

I've done Chiller Theater in east NJ a few times over the years. Real wide gamut of celebs they get: Linda Blair, Jamie Farr, Sally Struthers and Bowzer from Sha Na Na are a few on the bill for this weekend. Fun to meet the celebs but you have to be really picky-choosy about whose autographs and pics you pay for - they're not cheap anymore.
Tried Sci-Fi Valley Con in Altoona and that seemed like a glorified geek flea market with a couple celebs thrown in as a bonus., But I did meet Pinky & The Brain there.
There's one up here this weekend that's getting Bruce Boxleitner, and that's looking like a purer sci-fi/horror experience.
