Does anyone go to Hauntcon?

Just wondering if anyone goes and what your thoughts are on it. Is it worth it etc?

I went when it was in Dallas (is there a trend with "D" cities? Dallas, Detroit, Denver???).

I thought the seminars were okay - many were just sales pitches.

The demos were utterly fantastic - some of the best in the industry showing how to do a technique. Very time compressed but well worth getting to as many of those as possible.

Vendor floor was great - lots of vendors with some terrific products, very helpful, very informative, great to talk to and work out a deal (or three).

I mainly went because it was close-ish. If it were near-by I'd definitely go again.

I went to the Hauntcon in Denver this past spring. I enjoyed the seminars (some were better than others) and the vendor floor was great.
I also went on the tour of Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion. I'd gone though it before but this was a guided tour to explain how everything worked and it was both lights on and lights off.

I haven't been able to make it to any conventions...
i was going to try transworld last year but you have to be 18.
if you had the chance, i would go. you never know what it's going to be until you get there...

I am really curious to see how it all works out.
