Back in 1982, Chicon IV, the World Science Fiction Convention, was being held down the street from the Church of the Subgenius convention. Chicon was fun, but I ducked off to see the Bobs now and then. The SubGenius con was reveling in a punk phase, with lots of drunken whippersnappers doing all sorts of semi-musical things in a poorly lit grungy room. It was fun too, in it's own way. I merrily went from one to the other, though my heart was with the sf con.
Marscon 2006 seemed like three conventions and I was only at two of them.

The con chairs did a good job stitching many threads together,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raptivo did a fine job with Opening Ceremonies. wyngarde did a good job organizing the Dementian Music Track and (mostly) keeping them on time while lukeski ramped up the energy level. I had the honor of being in the video of my favorite Luke Ski song! Sort of in the background at the end of the show, but you can probably see me. Whee!
Marscon would have been better for me if I was in full voice. It was larger than last year, with a warm body count of 741 (announced at Closing Ceremonies), but with barely overlapping subfandoms. Still, I had fun and registered for next year. To fix the things I think need fixing probably requires more of my involvement, and I'm not sure I want to take the plunge into another con.
