I have been debating going for quite some time. I've never been but its not *too* far away from me. Many, many of my friends go each year. I guess my only fear is spending too much money. There's a LOT of stuff to spend money on from what I've heard. Another thread had suggested that we try to organize an OT.Com con or something, or at least have a gathering at another con that already exists. I'd be up for this!

Also, its already probably too late for this year but I believe organizations or individuals can get cheap 'booth' space at DragonCon without having to pay full 'dealer' room fees and many people use these to promote fans films, websites, bands, etc... it would have to be manned all the time but might be cool. Good promotion for the OT.Com. Heck, time permitting I'd probably volunteer the man the booth for a bit if others would as well.

On a side note, there's a horror convention coming up in Baltimore in August that I'm thinking of going to as well- looks pretty cool:
