I'm starting to consider attending Anthrocon next year. To some of you this might not sound like a big deal, but there are some issues that make it more difficult for me. First and foremost is that I don't really know anyone that will be going and meeting and interacting with new people is usually very difficult for me. This means I'd likely spend most of the convention by myself and the doesn't sound like a lot of fun. It also raises the question of who I'd room with. The rooms can be quite expensive without people to split the cost, and put it on top of an airline ticket most of the way across the country and it just becomes prohibitively expensive. Those are really the main hurdles, who would I spend my time with? And who would I room with? Considering the overall situation, I'm sure the answers to both questions would probably be the same, but I don't know who attends that I know so I don't have an answer at the moment. Oh well, it's something to think about anyway.
