So... as much as I hate to say this... the more I think about going, the less inclined I am to go. My first year, vol. 4, was all kinds of fun. Friends old and new, tons of great guests, the works. Vol. 5 was a bit rough for me, going with no company, having a difficult time connecting with people, etc., but there were still bright spots in the lineup and schedule, and all was well. This year... I dont know what happened with the booking situation, but there seems to be not just a substantial drop in guests from when I started going, but a total absence of anyone that caters to my interests that really got me visiting in the first place, video games and cartoons. (I am going to assume Chris Pope is not officially representing Spaceventure in any capacity.) And sixty five bucks at the door for that? Yes, I realize I could save 20 by putting down for a pass now, and I would just go ahead and do it if not for my finances being in embarrassingly bad shape. But Im really curious what in the world has been done to merit a twenty dollar leap in the price at the door, because I absolutely do not see it. Despite all that, attending still appeals to me, as Im now living alone and still dont have a robust circle of geeky friends in or around Nashville. And maybe the lack of must-see events for me would be a boon in this regard. But... I also wonder if trying to force my socially inept ways on other people for 48 hours is really the best investment I could be making. I am sure it will be fun, and I would still be interested in going, but I would be lying if I said I wasnt a little disillusioned.
