Many thanks for posting the guide for first time con-goers. I've never been to a con before, and just this past weekend, someone I met at a wedding this weekend was trying to interest me in going to a Dragon-Con, the con that the Buffy Between the Lines people hang out at. I've also been pondering going to one of the Doctor Who ones. I think the Chicago Tardis one might be a good start since that one's in town.
The cyber-bullying article was frightening. I used to be bullied a lot when I was in grade school and middle school. In fact, my parents had me switch grade schools in the middle of the year after someone thought it would be cute to push me down the stairs. My family had legitimate concerns that I would get hurt one day. I thank my lucky stars that there was no such thing as cell phones, Facebook, and other social networking sites when I was growing up, because that would have been one other avenue my tormentors could have used to attack me.
