Structured panels too mundane for you? Immerse yourself in one of our freewheeling informal discussion groups. And if that's not enough, you can while away the weekend in the con suite or video room, enter the hall costume competition, and browse in the art show and dealers' room. Feel like spending money? You can kiss your budget goodbye out of simple avarice at our art auction or humanitarian generosity at the charity auction! Feeling particularly energetic or just plain helpful? Volunteer to work as a gopher!"
