Bill Roper's Journal

This type of situation is in large part the reason that I'm not as interested in the behind the scenes running of conventions any more. The While the setting up of the convention itself can be fun and challenging, the fannish politics involved make me want to tear my hair out, use it at a noose on the worst of the gossips, and then set the hair on fire.

In fact, I've only barely gone to a convention in the last year or so, for much the same reasons. I enjoy going to see my friends, but it's way too expensive to spend a weekend at a hotel for a gossip-mongering bitch-fest.

But I'm not bitter, and that's the important part. ;)
