Thinking of Ushicon

I've lived in Austin for over three years and not once have I been to Ushicon. It's this weekend, from Jan 30th to Feb 1st. Pre-registration has closed and at-the-door prices are

3-Day Pass     - $35
Friday Pass     - $20
Saturday Pass - $20
Sunday Pass   - $10

Not that expensive, but just enough to make me pause and think about it. The guest list is pretty impressive:
Koda Kumi (Final Fantasy X-2, Gilgamesh, Cutey Honey)
Johnny Yong Bosch (Trigun, Akira, Gatekeepers, Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain)
Douglas Smith (BubbleGum 2040, Those Who Hunt Elves, Sorcerer Hunters, GoldenBoy, and Steam Detectives)
Monica Rial (Steel Angel Kurumi, Excel Saga, Noir, Angelic Layer, and Kiddy Grade)
Tiffany Grant (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Blue Seed, Sorcerer Hunters, and hundreds more)

As well as Shimpei Itoh, Mio Odagi, Greg Ayres, Mike McFarland, Steve Bennett, and Studio Capsule.

Yes, that's a damn impressive list for a city the size of Austin.

If any readers have been to Ushicon or know of someone who has, please let me know what the experience was like.

Did you go? I'm one of the staff heads, and I'm curious. I won't give an account, because I'm biased, but I would like to know if you made it.

Nope. I wasn't able to since my finances weren't ready to handle the registration costs. I wanted to, but I'll have to aim for next year.
