Marcon is a no-go for me this year....

[poltr1]

I won't be attending Marcon this year. There are a number of reasons.

1) Going to cons just costs too much these days, between gas, convention registration, and hotel fees.
2) I have to work on Saturday. (We have a deadline of next Friday.)
3) I'll be spending time with M on Sunday.
4) I've been feeling ambivalent about Marcon the past few years -- too big, the same old things every year.
5) I've had a chronic feeling of estrangement toward or by fandom.

The drive through Indy has never been bad by the time we've driven through it on the way back from Marcon. (This year we left Marcon at 4:30, just for a comparison.) There are plenty of other reasons you might not go, but I wouldn't worry too much about this one.
