The price of the con has risen quite a bit since I last attended one. At the door this year, it was $200 for the whole thing. If was less if you registered earlier.

I think one of the good innovations this year was taster memberships, but the only downfall to them, especially for us who ended up working on the days of the con, was that they could only be refunded up to 7pm. To get the three hours of use out of them, you'd have to register no later than 4pm, and make sure you were in line when the 7pm call came.

Day memberships were $80 for Hugo and Masquerade Night. In the end, after catching some of the pictures from the Con, I'm actually happy I didn't go. I guess I got spoiled by too many LosCons, but that was about as industrial-minimalist I've ever seen a dealer room, and the rest of the Con seemed to follow suit. Bad job on the host committee, alas.

I used to go to the Loscons too. I think I'm still a LASFS member - "Death will not release you." :)

LASFS ran this con too. They are great at running cons. So is NESFA (Boston).
