    Oh, sure, you'll go all the way to friggin' Wisconsin, while dissing the con in your own backyard.


    BAYCON!


    This weekend, Santa Clara Hyatt Regency. (near Great America)


    baycon.org


    It's not feminist, but it's fun.


    PM me if you're going!

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: I suspect there may be some feminists at BayCon. Just a guess. :)


    I wish I could be in both places at once! Why does BayCon always have to be at the same time as WisCon? Huh? Huh?

    @Annalee Newitz: You could alternate years, ya know. Save you some money as well. Expand your horizons.


    I know there's gonna be feminists at Baycon -- like me -- but that's not the main point of the con.


    Also, Baycon does books, movies, TV, anime, music, science...


    I think they have a fantasy-steampunk theme this year. Last year it was pirates.


    I've been making lists off io9 reviews so I know what books to buy from the dealers instead of Amazon. Gotta support fannish small business.

    Just a quick note, you can get Mac and Cheese pizza at some places in Madison.


    Ian's Pizza rings a bell... there might be others.

    Annalee-


    Now I have a reason to venture down from sloshkosh to mad-town this weekend.


    Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

    Any chance of seeing io9 at Dragon*Con? That is my annual trek to geekdom. :)

    So there's going to be a higher concentration of nerd ladies than at a usual con? YES!


    Wait, my sister is graduating this weekend. NO!
