Personally, being of the "normal and respectful" category, I think we need to be there and represent,
Yes, that's my only argument for ever attempting a Con (if I had the money)...that I would be adding another to the "normal and respectful" number of fans. That being said, I probably wouldn't ever say much, so it'd just be like I wasn't there. :-P
But yeah, not only do I suffer from vicarious embarrassment easily, but I'm also not very good with crowds - especially loud crowds. I mean, I suppose I enjoy rock concerts so there are scenarios that I'm fine with...I don't know, it's tricky.
To top it off, I have a very distinctive laugh - and I laugh when I'm nervous - and...yeah. I'd have to be careful not to sit beside anyone trying to video/record the Con, that's for sure.
Anyway, it's a moot point - seeing as how I'm probably never going to be able to afford a Con, anyway.
Nice that you got to meet Jasminka. I really enjoy her articles over at Winchester Family Business. That's another argument for attending a Con, I guess...I'd actually get to meet some of my "online friends" - or, if I attended the Vancouver Con, maybe some other Vancouver Supernatural Fans.
Wow...uh...didn't mean to write so much in response to your comment. :-P
