I've never had any interest in Dragoncon.  Another large circus - ICon
at Stony Brook NY I went to once.

"There was no there, there."

Held on a campus, guests scattered into a number of hotels.  No real
core to thecon.

Even though the book sales were good, it was - and remains - a con too
far for me.
