Convention Meme / Convention Staff Meme

[giza]

Since people seem to be posting what conventions they went to, I suppose I'll do the same.

Anthrocon: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Camp Feral: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003
ConClave: 2005, 2006, 2007
Confluence: 2006, 2007, 2008
DexCon: 2006
Eurofurence: 2004
FurFright: 2006, 2007
Furry Connection North: 2008
KainCon: 2006(?)
MagFest: 2007, 2008
MarCon: 2007, 2008
Midwest FurFest: 2002, 2003
Otakon: 2003

Years with links are where I have photos online. Bolded years are where I worked staff.


So that's 34 conventions in all. And I was staff at 22 of those conventions. Jesus.


And there are still more conventions I'd like to add to that list. Megaplex, Confusion, and Penguincon, for starters. And FurCoNZ, too. (I've never been to New Zealand before!)

Oh, and the next couple of months will be busy for me, as I'll be attending the following cons:

KainCon - A gaming con run out of sirkain's house over a weekend.

ConClave 33 - A science fiction con in Michigan. This is considered the "home" con for the Dorsai Irregulars, so I'm looking forward to seeing many other DI there.

FurFright - A halloween-themed furry connection in Connecticut.

Midwest FurFest - The big furry convention held out in Chicago just before Thanksgiving. I'm pleased to be returning here after missing it for the last few years.

I'll hope I'll get to see folks I know at at least one of those conventions! :-P

Ye gods. After 35 years in fandom, I couldn't possibly list all the cons I've been to. Hell, I have to work to remember exactly which Worldcons I've been to. Here's just this year, in chronological order: GaFilk, ConFusion, FilKONtario, Dorsai Thing, Penguicon, Marcon, Contata, Anthrocon, Confluence, Denvention (Worldcon), Conclave, OVFF.

Next year's list will be almost the same. The only difference is dropping GaFilk and Contata, and adding Conflikt. Oh, and Worldcon will be in Montreal instead of Denver.

(If anyone's wondering, GaFilk, Contata, Conflikt, FilKONtario, and OVFF are all filk cons.)

I intentionally left the Things off, because they're invite-only, so I didn't feel comfortable including them in the same list of other conventions I've been to.

Otherwise, it would have been 4 more cons. :-)

At this point, finances aren't an issue, as much as it is logistics, vacation days, and trying to drag unclekage along.

I'm eyeing up 2010 or 2011.

[therustyhusky.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'll see ya at FurFright, then.

We definitely need to grab a drink or two... or 6 at the bar one night! :P

[giza.livejournal.com]

As long as I'm not on duty at the time, sure! :-P

[miami-pony.livejournal.com]

dude.. some of those years you'd gone to -6- cons. Holy crap!

[giza.livejournal.com]

Heck, I'll be doing 9 cons this year.

It's good to have the student loans paid off. :-)
