just the sheer distances you'll go for SWMinis face-to-face;
I mean, sure, some folks are coming to GenCon Indiannapolis from like... Oz/ NZ etc,
though, 6hrs up the road is a bit of a hike for SWMinis.
OzCon (a sister GenCon held concurrently) is just... lackluster compared to the real conventions,
same with SupaNova (really seedy as the years go on,
it's gotten like the early 70s again style convention TBH)
I'd love to catch up at the coffee stuff and game it up casually;
Seattle Writers Con was great to game it up with SWMinis.
SizeCon and GenCON SWMinis are the best!
SouthBySouthwest wasn't as fun, but it was still pleasantly surprising to travel half way around the world,
and have that right near the other conventions for Tech.
much better than ComiCon San Diego was just too hussler.
I'd be interested if that Luau-Con is going ahead;
that's a comfortable flight and usually nice venues
for Luau-Con or Phillippines or Thailand ones.
