Apparently I'm going! I haven't been to MFF since 2009, when it was still in the old hotel. I haven't been to any con at all since FCN in 2010.

Back when I went to MFF in '09, there were just over 2,000 people. I knew it had gotten a lot bigger, but I was thinking it was somewhere in the 3-4 thousand range. Looked up MFF 2016's numbers the other day to find that it had just over 7,000 people.

Soooo I won't even bother asking "who wants to meet!" because with 7,000 people... good luck. I did AC back in 2009 as well, when it had just over 3,000 people, and meeting friends there was a big disappointment. Everyone has other people they want to spend time with and other things they want to do... so at a con that size, you'll spend about 5 minutes seeing most people, and the rest of the time with the same few people you're rooming with. Or at least the same few people you're generally comfortable with for the weekend, overall.

If you're going and you -want- to try and see me for a passing 5 minutes, comment below. If you're not going and you still want to meet me for 5 minutes you're also welcome to reply! You'll just be the more disappointed of the two options.
