WisCon, May 24-27, is an annual feminist science fiction/fantasy/literature/media convention and this year's Guests of Honor are G. Willow Wilson and Charlie Jane Anders. Registrations start at $55 for adult memberships but single-day rates are also available. Many informative links at the IRL pages for 2018 and 2016.
In case you'd like to skim some guidance to reassure first-time participants, Alexandra Erin posted "So, you want to go to WisCon?" and "So You Want To Go To WisCon, Part II: Expectations". There's usually a first-timers' dinner (small group expeditions to local restaurants, I think), and orientation sessions, early in the con, to help first-time attendees and first-time panelists (tips) and first-time moderators (tips). If you feel better showing up someplace for the first time if you're being useful, you can volunteer for a few hours.
I am again the comedy auctioneer for the Tiptree Auction on Saturday night.
MeFi meetup: Sunday afternoon at HopCat. But also feel free to say hi if you see me around the con!

Adding “Sunday at Dane” to my diary. Where it will, sadly, compete with at least five panels.

I'll be @Wiscon, am free after I get my art setup in the Art Show, which usually takes me through most of the gathering time. How far is Great Dane from Concourse?

Oh yeah, the Great Dane feels too far from the Concourse. Switching to HopCat.

rocketman, consider buying a one-day pass at the door for Saturday and coming to the con? I try to put on a good show for the auction on Saturday night -- no need to buy anything at the auction to enjoy the performance.

Ok, so I'm at Hopcat now, sitting near a window. :) I have comics to read and things to write, so I'll just hang out here for a while ;)

Glad I got to chat with you all!
And I appreciate the flexibility of HopCat's servers and hosts in seating our fluctuating number. :-)
