Jim at RT Convention
Cathy Clamp:
I was at FenCon last year (and will be again this year.) Yeah, they're TOTALLY different both in size and scope. RT is really one of the biggest cons in the U.S. There are 250-300 authors and over 3,000 attendees (those who paid for the con.) Double that number for spouses and the book signing. Compare that to FenCon, where there were probably 300 people for the whole event. :o
They're very different, but each one is really fun in their own way. :)
Mickey Finn:
Cathy, let me introduce you to A-kon...15-20k people ;)
And these are small potatoes compared to Dragon Con & Comic Con.
Fencon is amazingly tiny for the rep it has.
DFWCon is an comfortably sized writers con, probably a bit smaller than RT, definately less authors, decidedly more than Fencon.
Aggie-con, btw, is one of the longest running cons. Small, intimate, but guests like Terry Pratchett, Harlan Ellison, etc.

You must have them tagged before you go in so they won't try to charge you for them as you leave. The book signing is very casual and fun and it is great to see all your favorite authors in one place! Be prepared to stand in line for the bestselling authors like Charlaine Harris, Chrstine Feehan and Jim. I found that the earlier you get there the better. I think the book fair opens for the general public usually around 10:00. Hope to see you there! :D

I will be there on Saturday. I live close to Houston so it's not far to drive. I've never been to the RT Con, but I'll be there with a friend who has. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you there. :)
