Conventions.

A great place to try out new games, see what's new, buy stuff, find
out how to get published, etc.
Some of our local gaming conventions:
RadCon www.radcon.org
NWRE (NorthWest Regional Event, also sometimes called NoWheRe)
Norwescon
So what gets you going about cons? What do you like/dislike, where do
you go, how do you get ready, what panels to you go to, is one coming
up? etc.

Honestly, the only con I've gone to is Con on the River, in Winona,
MN. Reason: Winona State University was where I really got into a
college gaming group, in this case called RPSIG (Role Playing Special
Interest Group).
CotR has only recently has panels, and I've missed it a few times due
to lodging/travel schedule conflicts.
In general I get ready by booking my tickets and hotel reservations,
then save packing until a couple days before I go. Since the events
I've gone to so far are weekend events, I usually pack the morning
before I go.
I have some interest in attending Gen Con.

Has anyone here ever attended the Con put on at UMich in November? I've seen
notices, but have never attended.

Another question: costuming at conventions. Do you go to cons that
feature costume contests or the like?
A friend of mine made an anime costume that won Best Costume at RadCon
3B? in 2002... if I can manage to get her webpage link to it I'll post
it here.

Con on the River does have a costume contest IIRC.
As for UCon, I've thought about it, and then thought about how hard it
would be to park anywhere near the Union when it was going on.
