O...PhilCon is, sadly, not as good as it used to be. Or maybe that's just my own prejudices showing up. I'm very glad that they still have a lively authors track in the programming. However, other fixtures like the dealer's room and the masquerade have grown much smaller. We had probably half the people we used to get in the filk room. And of course, I dislike the new location, since it's difficult for me to reach.<br /><br />Now, I sound like I'm trying to talk you out of going, don't I? The authors and written SF/Fantasy track probably beat much of what you'll find at other regional cons--with the exception of ReaderCon. (Or so I've heard. I've never gotten to that one.)<br /><br />Maybe I'll see some of you next year. <br /><br />Sherry ThompsonSherryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964221770863733221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-37065456054501045742010-11-29T16:37:20.566-05:002010-11-29T16:37:20.566-05:00Sounds like a good con.
