Which convention to go to?
11 years ago
I think I brought this up ages ago but um.. I'm thinking of going to one of these anthrocon thingies sometime soon? And I don't know which one to go to. There's no definitive con is there. I'm thinking about either having a dealer table or winging it at artist alley and I'm starting to do some research on my own logistics and accounting. I'm a little apprehensive about it because the trip won't be cheap; flying in from Asia is gonna cost me something close to 2k just to reach the states and then there's the hotel and everything else to worry about.
So... which conventions should I be considering? Anthrocon? FA United?

I also suggest Midwest Furfest. :)
Also don't forget that there's more to cons than just the dealer's room and artists alley. There's also panels, events, gaming, dances and so on. If you're stuck behind the table for the whole con you're missing out on half of the fun.
It totally screwed over my plans for RainFurrest this year. Didn't know until the day that registration for the Dealer's Den opened. I applied for the business license that exact day, and didn't get it until way after all of the tables were already taken. :<
Odd thing is that the state of Washington let me have a business license without a SSN.
