it's a lot, but the con is in mid-summer= holidays, so it feels good to delve into something you really like to let people know about it, when you have the time :) compared to many other people I spend ridiculous amount of time on my panels, because I don't feel comfortable talking about something I don't have extensive knowleadge about.. I've seen way too many panels like that, where obviously the people didn't have any interest in the topic and only researched it for the sake of the panel. I don't want to be like that. The cons here are "for fans by fans", so they're not that ~proffesional~ (thus expensive) but more enjoyable with friendly atmosphere and dedicated people :) and it's part of its charm that you sleep in a sleeping bag in a classroom, smoke in the restrooms like back in the days (since most cons are taking place in school buildings) after drinking the night away with your "weird" friends. Admittedly in the end it's all about the people there (which is the biggest reason why I even go to cons), but no-one knows them from the beggining and if you ever have the chance, you should give it a try :) obviously I've never been to american con, but I've heard a lot about it and I'd love to see one. Thanks. Whoa, trust me, I don't want to go through that ordeal again either. We 'oficially' broke up only yesterday, more or less exactly after 4 years. Of course there were wonderful times, but... nope. Not again. I'm actually relieved it finally cleared between us. :)
having the time to do things you like is always wonderful :) and I hate it when people aren't interested in whatever they're talking about. it's like "how do you expect your listeners to be interested when you don't enjoy whatever it is you're talking about now show that you have much knowledge in that subject." your cons sound like so much fun, I'd go to one of those. if you're ever in southern California, I'd be glad to go with you ^_^ I'm glad everything is cleared up between you two. it's one less thing you have to worry about.
