Anyone from WI go to DragonCon?

I'm looking for folks from Wisconsin who go to DragonCon. Just for a meet up, if possible. I am in Madison.

Time for me to learn something...

This is just a general impression that I get from my own experiences running the MMO track, but it would appear that a very large part (if not an outright majority) of the Dragon*Con community doesn't get news and information from online sources, or at least not the online sources that I frequent throughout the year.  

Assuming that my supposition is incorrect, aside from the LJ community and the Dragon*Con website, itself, , where do Dragon*Con fans go throughout the year for info on what is happening at D*C as well as other conventions in the area?  I've seen mention of a couple of convention related websites out there, but aside from that, I'm really curious as to where folks hang out online during the year.

Filk 2010

I would dearly love to see Alexander James Adams and SJ Tucker appear at the con next year. Anyone else think this would be the most amazing thing ever?

I was so excited by the changes to the Filk Track in 2009, and I think it would just be unbelievably wonderful to have these two luminaries appear. Can I get a "heck, yeah!"?

what is up with eternal members registration

Why did this year's eternal member registration start 30 minutes to 1 hour after onsite and other registrations had already opened.? I  was under the impression that eternals are considered VIPs. Granted our line was not long; but, it is kind of sad that onsite registration opened before the eternal registration line did. This meant that people just walking in off the street were done before our door was even open.

This will be the 3rd year in a row that something has gone wrong in the eternal registration line whether it was computer problems or a delay in registration or other issues.

So basically what i am askin is just what is the benefit of being an eternal????
