Happy Birthday laurel

I got my cane!

With the aid of the wonderful lexiphanic, I succeeded in getting a Butch Honeck cane at Convergence. Here's a not great picture of it - there are more (even less great) pictures if you click on it.





I'm a very happy fan!

A Survey, of sorts

For reasons inspired (very tangentially) by my last post, I have a question about convention huckster/dealer rooms - badged or not badged?

In the last ten years, I've been to one con that consistently badges, and all the other cons I've been to do not. So, I want to accumulate some data. Please give me the following data:

Con Name
Con Type/Description - examples include (but are not limited to!) SF/F, Anime, Gaming, media, fan-run, commercial
Approximate Attendance
Badged or Not Badged

I already have:

Minicon, SF/F, fan-run, ~600, Not Badged
Marscon, SF/F, gaming, media? fan-run, ~800, Not Badged
Convergence, media, SF/F, fan-run, ~2500, Badged

Any other information I have is over three years old, and I want current information.
