I've been hearing that from more and more convention-going friends lately, and it makes me kinda of sad. Conventions used to be awesome, what the heck happened?

(And I've always been an artist/dealer or volunteered at conventions, too [what's the point of going if you have nothing to do?], so I have NO idea what changed.)

I will add you to the list of interested parties! A more serious post about this will be going up momentarily asking for emails to start a Serious Mailing List about the topic, though I already have your email :)
