Hey :) first of all THANK YOU for the blog. It helped me a lot already!! What I still want to know is, if you would recommend doing everthing within one con. My problem is I don't live in the US and want to go to one con there. I'm not sure if I ever have the chance to do it again. So would you recommend that I spend a litlle bit more money for that con, so that I can do anything I want there, or would it be to overwelming/stressful?
I'd say do all the things that you want to do. I did that in my early cons. It's pretty well scheduled and structured, with plenty of people to give you help if you're not sure what's going on at any time. Some times there are clashes, but you should be able to navigate that via the supplied schedule, and Creation also help out with those things or if you're a bit lost.
If you splurged and did VIP, then you have someone looking after the VIP group and that helps you know where you should be and when, but even if you just got GA tickets for all days, I'm sure you'd be able to work it out.
So if you've just doing one con, figure out what the things are that are an absolute must and try to do them.
I will say this though - I also said I was only do one US con, and ten years later and twenty-one Creations cons on (and multiple Aussie ones)...ah...yup.
Good luck! Let me know which con you end up doing!
