One year I’m going to make it out to this. I can’t imagine what a 120,000 person convention must be like, since Dragon*con is “only” 30,000.

From what I’ve heard, it’s a completely different type of experience. The panels can be very hard to get into, because of how huge the guests are. Also, Dragon*Con seems to be a bit more intimate in terms of how willing the guests are to interact with the crowds. And it’s more of a party con, as well.
But yeah, I’d also love to go to Comic Con one year, just to see what I could see.
By the way, have you heard Terry Gilliam will be at Dragon*Con this year? That’s pretty huge.
