Wow, that sounds really great. :) I'm glad you had such a good and interesting time, despite the shortcomings (and as a middle-class white feminist, I feel I should... I dunno, apologize? DX) It sounds like a really cool event.

If you do make plans to go next year, and/or to go to WisCon, let me know! I'd love to go to both those cons, assuming you wouldn't mind me tagging along and assuming I can afford it

It's a worthwhile experience at least once - shortcomings aside, it is a national, professional, academic, feminist conference, and that's a great thing to have under your belt.

Pssh, don't apologize. Just work with me to fix it. ;)

Ooh, going together would be awesome! WisCon is definitely cheaper than NWSA (registration is $45 right now, whereas with NWSA you have to register and be a member, which ends up costing over $200 depending on your income). I'm not sure about travel costs, though. I'd have to check it out. And we could see if anyone else is interested ... *excited*

No kidding. It's pretty great just knowing it's there. :D

I will do my best! :Db

Ooo... yeah, NWSA might be a bit out of my price range at this point, if registration's that expensive, on top of airline and hotel and food costs. >_> But WisCon sounds much more reasonable! And since I'll be giving one of my usual cons (AnimeBoston) a miss next year, I could easily spend that money on WisCon instead! :D

NWSA has a sliding scale for membership (and registration? I've forgotten already) costs, so it could be less, if you want to go.

Also, if it makes any difference, NWSA 2009 will be in November, and WisCon will be in May. Lots of time in between, if you want to save up for both. ;)
