[livejournal.com profile] liz_marcs links to a really wonderful essay by Wil Wheaton of Star Trek the Next Generation fame about fan conventions.

I have to admit - I don't understand why people go to fan conventions. It sounds like pure hell to me. Crowds. Noise. Lectures. Long Lines. But, I don't understand going to regular conventions either. I avoid going like the plague - and I have an organization I joined a while back in which I probably should try and go to a few conventions with, because you know, NETWORKING! But, ack, convention. Would rather go to the dentist personally - for me the dentist isn't that bad, just basic cleaning no cavitis, but still.. Why pay money and vacation time to do something I hate? No thank you. But I know people who love the things, adore them. Boggles my mind. Just have to jot it down as one of those things I don't understand and leave it at that.
