Ogrecave notes that attendance to Origins this year was down a whopping 18% from last year. And while it's easy to blame the current state of the economy I think that becomes too much of a crutch. In fact, as long as your outlook looks pretty stable this is actually a great time to travel. Gas is actually affordable and there are plenty of travel deals to be found.

With an exception here and there, such as the San Diego Comic Con, I think the days of big cons have faded. Thanks...
