Conventions
So once Origins changes dates (starting next year, it'll be near Memorial Day Weekend) maybe I can actually hit some other conventions, sometimes. Especially those near the end of Summer or beginning of Fall. I have a kind of 'wish list' of conventions I'd like to see once, mostly comic related, but not all of them.
GenCon - the biggest gaming convention in the land.
DragonCon - the biggest science fiction and fantasy convention.
Emerald City Comic-Con - Because Seattle is awesome.
Penny Arcade Expo - Did I mention Seattle is awesome?
San Diego Comic-Con - It's big.
New York City Comic-Con - Also big. Also want to see New York.
Heroes Con - Because about half the people I know seem to live in North Carolina.
There's also the Pittsburgh Comic-Con, which I haven't done yet because I'm basically lazy. There are a couple of WV Cons - TsubasaCon for anime, and CharCon for gaming.. haven't made the effort to check them out either, regrettably.
I get loads of vacation time each year, so getting out of work to get to these places is generally not a problem - it's the travel and hotel expenses that make them tougher to commit to. That and the lazy thing.
I wonder if there's a unified 'convention calendar' somewhere? Wikipedia has good lists of cons, but they're not really organized usefully. There should be a sortable calendar of nerd-cons.

- Anime
- Comics
- Gaming
- Multi-Genre
- Sci-Fi, which does allow you to sort the list by date, at least.

If you don't make it to TsubasaCon sometime, my family will be angry. (Since my cousin started it and all....)

And Huntington is code-speak for Hell where I'm from..... I don't really blame you.
