I'm trying to decide whether or not to register for WinchestMidwest.
PROS
It's a Supernatural con
It's only $35 for the weekend (3 days)
The con hotel is so close to my apartment that I can see it from here
CONS
It's a very small con with only one track of programming
I'm only interested in about 1/4 of the programming on the schedule
I probably won't know anyone there
If this con were being held anywhere else, the decision would be a no-brainer, but I'm having trouble letting go of the fact that there's going to be a Supernatural convention right in front of my face. How can I turn that down?
So, here's your chance to weigh in.

Even if you're only interested in 1/4 of the programming, it's worth $35. And because it's a fairly small con, it will be more intimate. Andie says she loves meeting new people and if someone is all alone, she'll welcome them into the fold.
And now, shameless pimping: I started a "Tournament of Supernatural Episodes," or March Madness for Supernatural. Round 1 (http://mrstinkles.livejournal.com/59314.html) is up and I'd love it if you stopped by to vote. And I'd really REALLY love it if you'd pimp it to your flist (since I have only about 6 friends *L*).

Date: 2008-03-20 11:04 pm (UTC)From:Here? Actually, quite a few. The big Creation Supernatural con last November was held about 10 minutes from here in a hotel that regularly hosts WindyCon. Creation's other hotel where they hold the Fangoria and Stargate cons is about 20 minutes from here in the same hotel that also hosted the last ZebraCon (ZCon's regular con hotel is 15 minutes from where I work). The Midwest's largest anime convention, Anime Central, is at a hotel about 25 minutes from here in a clump of hotels where I've gone to countless cons (Doctor Who, Blake's 7, The Man from UNCLE, and general media cons). I have also been to a MUNCLE con at a hotel about 5 minutes from here. Anyway, my cup runneth over on that front.
WinchestMidwest would be a good chance to meet more localish fangirls. The ones I normally meet are from all over the country (and sometimes from other countries), so it would be nice to meet some fellow fans that were closer to home.
Yes, you should go.
