Convention inquiries and survey.

As someone who straddles the worlds between comic book retailing, media retailing, and bookselling, is Lunacon worth my time for contacts, swag, networking, and future sales?

Looking at their site, it appears that my expenses for the weekend would be $80.00 for travel, $400.00 for accommodations, and $100.00 for food & incidentals. Call it $600.00 all told.

Those authors and fans among my Gentle Readers who are old hands at this convention game, please chime in. I'm coming back to conventions after a long absence, and most of my experience is on the vendor side, not the networking side.

2] In a related note, what are the other conventions on your itineraries for 2008? I'm most interested in anything in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, but I'll consider the right con off the East Coast if I could almost immediately recoup expenses.

Thanks for your input on both counts.
