Yep, Belgium.  I just picked up a couple of different beers from Belgium
from the corner store last weekend.  Both were excellent.  If I could only
drink beer from one country I think it would be Belgium.

then you must feel the same as the three-quarters of women who take a

This is a cosmically true statement, but the flip side of this truth is
that it's really easy to take good pictures at the baloon fiesta - 
All you really need is decent color film.  The pictures won't,
can't capture the full essence of the event, but they'll be great to
show to your friends back home.

And diverse.  I met the Russian balloon team one year - wonder where they
are now?...  Not to mention chase crews, other celebrants and random
hangers-on.

As well it shouldn't. Nothing wrong with the guy. And he throws great parties.

It will likely be very expensive. Also, you will find the majority of women to
be several years older than yourself, and not interested much in younger men.
I got reeled in by Great Expectations last year. I found that about 5-8% of the
women whose profiles I saw were at least 3 years older than I was (23 at the
time, and all but one or two excluded men below 25. There were a few ladies my
age or younger, but very few.

Don't do it. If your still looking in 4 years or so, then think about it, when
you'll get a better degree of choice. Right now, you'd be throwing your money 
away.

Could be, but when I used to go to things similar to cons (I would
imagine), gun & knife shows, I did not go there to meet people.  I
went there to see the latest in weaponry.  Now I do understand the
purpose of a Boink is for netter's here to get together and meet.  I
never even heard of Sci-Fi cons until I got into computing and meet
some people here in Cincinnati who were telling me about it.

And you can't know what's 'correct' until you do a few things incorrectly.
You'll recognize 'incorrect' actions by their consequences.

I don't expect you'll be able to figure things out ahead of time.  Like the
rest of us you're going to be constrained to figuring things out as you go along.
Presumably, you'll get better as you go...
