Make Up My Mind For Me

[the_other_sandy]

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.

By all means GO!!

WinchestMidwest grew out of a seed I'd planted in anteka's ear last year. (The idea was to show off beautiful Madison, WI, but she moved it to Chicago. Probably because it was a more central location.)

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*).

It sounds fun. I finally watched Seasons one and two on dvds my sister had. So I'm totally hooked but without means to watch the season three eps I missed. Don't have the money to buy it on iTunes, nor a good connection to download them anyways. Woe is me. But I really do love the show now.

I voted yes. What a great opportunity to meet other fan girls!!! You lucky duck! *lol* It's the people that make fandom so much fun and you never know who you'll be able to hook up with while you're there. And just how many cons are likely to happen right next door?

Yes, you should go.

Evidently only LJ members can actually use the poll, so I'll just chime in here.

Yes, I think you should go. It's so cheap, and so close to your house that if you've got a break or hate it you can just go home. You might find some good zines, or get a couple of good panels. Go for it!
