I live here too. My experience was probably completely opposite though because I am a terribly nerdy hermit whom never leaves his house. This was my first convention ever and the first time I had even been down to that part of the city, despite living here several years. So the whole thing was mindblowing to me, seeing so many people and getting to experience a bunch of cool stuff.

I didn't even get to buy anything or check out any of the cooler stuff because of the horribly long lines. Although, I was lucky enough to get a photo with the yogscast. That made up for the slight disappointment of the lines and not getting any merch. My legs are killing me though, so I probably won't go back.
