I'm sorry about MW difficulties. I"ve heard a great deal about the con comm one the years. It just seems to be that sort of con. Great place to meet up with friends, but… I'm feeling much the same as you about fandom. For me, I think it's also the fact that I can't seem to find it anymore. Fandom for me has always meant online discussions, keeping the squee alive. Tumblr doesn't really allow for the discussion part, and LJ/DW has slowed considerably. But, as you say, there is BistoCon to look forward to! And I may (madly) be thinking a bit about Escapade as well. *g*
