"BookCon"

If a theoretical "Book Con" were to take place, what are a few points of feedback you would want to see?

* What would you pay for admission for general and VIP tiers?

* Genres of focus or balance?

* Emphasis on local, regional, national authors

* Should there be an opportunity for vendors to set up?

* What venues make the most sense?

* Which activities would make you most likely to attend?

* Would you prefer a one-day event, or weekend event?

* What would make attending easier for you?

* What would prevent you from attending?

Curious Iguana does their adult book fairs at Attaboy Barrel House but they do weekday evenings (usually Thursdays, sometimes Fridays, I believe) so probably doesn't compete with their busiest times.

Open Books Chocolates would be a good local vendor.

Personally a paid Con I'd probably not pursue because I feel like Cons are kind of niche and aimed at people who are way more invested in their hobbies than I am.
