* RogueClown is going to ShmooCon...well, as long as she succeeds in The Mad Rush For Tickets. 

then again, even if i fail at the Mad Rush For Tickets, i shall still go to DC just to hang out with all of the awesome folk.

I live close by and definitely want to attend, but getting tickets will be a problem.

Is it really this hard to get tickets?  They actually sell out there?

From what I heard, you have to buy early. The earlier the cheaper. As they go through the stash of tickets, the price goes up. Its like a bidding war.

I too will try to go.  Even if I fail at ticket-getting I'll hang out in the area.

According to Wikipedia: "February 15-17, 2008: The event sold out in 30 seconds for general admission and another 10 minutes for the ILoveShmoo cons entering 2008 on January 1 at over 1200 attendees"

Although, I don't know what the ILoveShmoo cons are. Can someone please explain?
