Hello! I'm new to this forum and also new to conventions, having only learned about the concept three years ago, and I've never been to one yet. I've been tempted by the Star Trek one coming up... but I was particularly thrilled to learn about Return to Middle Earth, and would rather save my money to spend on this :)
I think a lot can happen in two months, so even if it seems quiet, I'm pretty confident about it going ahead. The publicity for The Hobbit can only drive up interest.
I'm really shy about meeting new people though, so I'm not sure I'd really get THAT much out of it - does it generally attract more confident people? I think I'd just clam up haha. But I guess still worth it for a first experience of a convention, and it's for my biggest passion - Lord of the Rings :)
