I can definitely vouch for this one. ConFusion is always the biggest
one, ConClave the smallest. Their guest list is really good--is this
the year Pete Abrams (Sluggy Freelance) is coming?

Heh, if it's next to the Hucksters' Room this year, you might
just get the benefit of having the Super-Vigilant (when not
sleeping) Richard Tucholka, of Tri Tac fame, on guard! :)

I've actually seen LEGO in the ConFusion art room before, if
memory serves--as art as *well* as toys for the gofers/staff.

I can vouch for this, too. Oh, and ConFusion also never runs
out of caffeine for the ConSuite, which is a very nice thing.
The masquerade is a lot of fun, IMHO, even though I'm not a
dresser-upper.
Who's the ConCom this year? (And does Michael get to do Radio
Free ConFusion again, cranking that mighty 1/4 watt of power?)
I may have to show up, if my schedule allows.
