I'm vacilating on it, Catch.
On the plus side, I'm was born in Wisconsin, went to UW-Madison, most of my family lives in Milwaukee, and I could stay with my cousin in Madison if I went.
On the minus side, I'll know no one at the convention, I've never been to one of these fan things before and would feel uncomfortable going alone, and I'm sure my wife and kids and Milwaukee cousins would think that I'm the biggest wanker in the world for going, especially since they would not be going. Plus the airfare and car rental costs.
So, I'm totally on the fence here. I think if I knew that more people from the forum were going I'd feel a little better, even though I've never met anyone from it in person.
