    I've gone the last 2 years, but I swore up and down last year I would never go again (it was a miserable time)... Until I saw it announced that JMS was attending. Now I'm thinking about going if only to see him speak and maybe catching some B5 stuff. Soooooo, maybe for me.

    Was it that bad? I first heard about it from a guy I used to work with who said he had gone in the past and really enjoyed it.

    I'll be there. I don't think there's likely to be another 'gathering' of B5 folks like this again.
