I think foolscapcon looks awesome for you. Great guests too. You may need to do some reading before that one :D

Robothon would be fun for a few hours but I think watching robots for more than that would get boring. Of course if you were to get down in the pits and do some interviewing and gathering info it could be a good setting for a story.

Vcon and Orycon have a lot going on. I know my brother-in-law enjoys Orycon a lot. With so much going on if you get bored you can always try something else. Doesn't the Cam go to Orycon? You may have to dodge them lest they try to re-blood bond you.

I'm not worried about the Cam. I quit because of the locals.

I'm actually going to try a old school LARP next weekend.

Robothon is more of lark than anything else.
