wiscon is trying harder on a lot of issues out there, which means that when we fail, people are more disappointed in us than they would be in someone who didn't even try. this a) sucks, and b) is totally fair.

that said, we are having a year of YAFGE, but we are, in my working on the concom opinion, learning and growing from it.

besides, if you come and you hate the con, you can blow it off and spend the weekend on state street, which is amazingly fabulous. i will go for tapas with you! and sushi! and greek food! and mexican! and some other stuff!
