Large conventions don't interest me.

This is the weekend of DragonCon, a huge SF/fantasy convention in Atlanta, GA. Earlier this month, the annual World Science Fiction Convention -- Worldcon -- was held in Dublin, Ireland. I'm hearing reports from friends in fandom who are at these conventions and telling me what a great time they're having, and/or what I'm missing out on.

( But here's the thing: Large conventions of any type just don't interest me any more. )
