Serious question... is it worth it? |
Lead | |
|
Me and my wife are considering going to one day of the con, since that's all we can afford. We're about to move back out of state, having just moved
here a few months ago (so this is our first and maybe last chance to go without travel fair). We were thinking Sunday since both Lucy and Renee will be
there... I may be asking a biased group, hehe, but will it be worth it considering it will just be the one day and money is very tight for us right now?

It's been worth it for me. If you're a Xena fan, then yeah, I think you should try to do it. You can get the cheapest ticket possible for that day
(general admission which is just $50 per person). That will get you in to see the guests and all the events. You may not buy anything else because money is
tight but for me, just being there, is a huge amount of fun. Just being around all those people that love the same show you do.
So I would say, yes, it's worth it if you're close enough and get the cheap tickets. Seeing Lucy and Renee in person is great. I know you say that money is tight but I was just wondering, are you able to afford a $89 general admission ticket per person for the weekend? Because if you were able to see more than just the day Lucy and Renee were on stage, that would make the experience even more exciting (especially with Hudson--that's a huge draw for me on Saturday).

Being a Xena fan, attending the convention was the best investment I've made in a long time!
Worth EVERY penny.
If there is something in this life that you want to do, grab hold of the reins and take yourself for a ride, because if you don't you may miss out on some of the best experiences life has to offer! |

Hi Mbmoses!
I think it will be more than worth it. Especially if you are about to move out of the area, and then you'll regret not going the short distance. I say yes, worth ever pennySmutterly speaks the truth! You may not buy anything else because money is tight but for me, just being there, is a huge amount of fun. Just being around all those people that love the same show you do. Aurora Goddess speaks the truth! Being a Xena fan, attending the convention was the best investment I've made in a long time!Horseredhead speaks the truth! If you decide to go, I just know you'll have a wonderful time. And the Xena fans are the BEST. The friendliest and most loving group of people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Truly lovely people.

Very fun, and a very good sense of community.
Everyone is equal: Gay, straight, married, single, black, white, yellow, red, brown, democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, middle of the road, christians, jews, muslims, budhists, wiccan, tribal, atheists etc... No one will object or judge you. |

Yes, it's a great investment!
The Xenites are a friendly
bunch. They are from different boards and are willing to help you or show you around, if you get lost! Xenites!! GO USA!!!!

MB, especially if you're moving out of the state I'd say do it now. Just do me a favor and attend the TX meet and greet and meet all of the other
board members. It will expand your enjoyment of the event one hundred times over. The more folks you meet and talk to, the more fun the overall enjoyment is
and I am saying this from experience of going alone to one convention, meeting a couple there and then being too shy to really enjoy a whole more whereas when
I went with Firelynx, althought I missed the meet up because of snow in the Cahon pass, we did meet tons of people. Right now if I could drive my dogs to
california for a couple of days and go, I'd go just to meet the fans! And Lucy and Renee are a hoot!
Take care

It's defnitely worth it. I'm not going this year, but I really wish I was. Everytime I have been I've never regretted it, and it involves flying
half way round the world for me to get there.

Turns out, we couldn't afford it.
Too bad, I really wanted to go. Maybe one day!

Sorry to hear that you aren't able to go, MB. But we are lucky that there are so many kind Xenites that are going who are willing to share their pics and
stories about the con. We can live vicariously through them until the next time we are able to go ourselves.
