Generally speaking, it's also a poorly done convention.  One of the
most notable one being ConDiego (1990)  which managed to typo it's name
in it's own souvenir book.  And apparently things only got worse.  Which
caused this to become a popular phrase:  "Your name is ConDiego Montoya.
You kill my weekend. Prepare to die."

Since the likelyhood of actually removing NASFiC from the WSFS
Constitution is pretty darn small, the only other alternative I could
think of last year was to vote in the NASFiC site selection, voting for
No NASFiC.  Well, it's going to Seattle, & I'm not.

But con going fans like to go to cons; wave some cheese in front of
them and off they go . . .
