For the first time in six years, I attended a con this weekend: Intervention, the Internet Culture Convention, focusing primarily on webcomics. A co-worker who knew of my "Downscale" pointed me to the con's debut last year; this year I took him up on it, partly because it was Metro-accessible. Alas, he bowed out due to temporary family illness. We compared our impressions of the con today.

All in all, I found Intervention less fun than Anthrocon but also less embarrassing. It helped that nearly half the attendees and panelists were female, and children seemed well accommodated. If it weren't more local than Pennsylvania, I wouldn't bother going again, but I think I will.
