well, LA has its good points - and it's bad points. Yay for smaller, but that also means fewer Stargate guests. You can also buy the tickets pretty late and still get a good seat. I wavered for quite a while on getting a 'gold'. But finally did, because the gold allowed me to hop to all the conventions, and since I am interested in Farscape and some of the Whedon stuff, it worked out and I wasn't bored. Joe is also much more serious. I like him better with David, he laughs and they have a good time.

So, start saving and watching the creation site, but don't buy a ticket till later.
