So I’ve recently been bitten by the Con bug. DragonCon, AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) have both fueled a spark and now I’m wondering when the next geek con I can go to is. It doesn’t have to be Sci-fi / Fantasy / Anime, I’m also looking at Tech Con’s to hit up.

What’s your favorite Con?

I’ve not been to more than a handful of cons, including two DragonCons. But my all-time favorite was GenCon 2003: the gaming was delightful, the people were tremendous, and every bit of the experience was just exceptional. I really want to go back next year.
