I rather wish the description was a little more detailed as Penguicon is not really just another convention. I've heard people describe their experiences at sci-fi and comic book conventions and thought, "Gee, that sounds more like a flea market than a convention." At Penguicon, the focus is on fun. Once you pay the exceptionally low registration fee, you can go the whole weekend without touching your wallet. (And if you try really hard, you can even get the fee back.)Liquid Nitrogen? Check.Non-stop sci-fi and geek panels? Check.Masquerade? Check.OpenCola? Check.Chaos Toy? Check.Chocolate ritual? Check.Roaming pirates? Check.We're gearing up for another great con this year.

it's not FREE food. it's food that you pay for with your membership.

I went. It was okay. The session on setting up an OpenBSD router turned into a Q&A session on BSD partitioning (or slicing apparently). The securing PHP session was quite well. There was free beer and food. Free if you forget the $30 admission fee.BTW there were a ton of crossdressers at this thing, along with a few furries. Not sure what the hell that was all about. I'll never be able to look at Tux the same again.
