I know what you mean about 'My People'. When I started going back to Escapade for the first time in about 10 years I was waiting in the lobby until it was time to check in. Several ladies all came in together. I had never met any of them, they were talking about everyday things, and there was not a fan-ish t-shirt, piece of jewelry, or tote bag in sight, and I just KNEW they were there for the convention.
I was right and it was awesome. With in five minutes I was talking with them about the trials of traveling to the con and what panels they were most interested in going it. It was like I had known them for years.
Still I felt comfortable there as I had friends I was meeting later that day.
As for Bitchin' Party it's actually close enough I could drive there in around 6 hours so I'm really interested in this if I can swing it work wise. That said I didn't find much for this. Do they not have a regular web site? All I found was a DW account where the newest message was for a survey for the 2018 convention, that was posted back in Oct of 2016.
I may not be able to sign up right now, but I would like to find out a little about the area where it's hosted, the hotel so I can figure out my rough costs and start planning. I'm all about meeting up with you and other fans for a relaxed weekend of fanish activities.
