[Robotgroup] Armadillocon

[Andre Lamothe]

Those who have went to armadillocon, any comments on it? Worth it? I have 
written many non-fictional books, but have never published my fictional 
works, so little money in that biz, you make 5-25 cents a unit! However, I 
am always interested in hearing what sci-fi authors have to say about deals, 
royalties, etc. However, the writers workshops are closed. So, is the event 
worth paying $20 and tooling around the expo or vendor area? What kind of 
stuff is going on in general? The website is useless btw, I have been 
looking at it, seems like its missing the "big picture" and there are no 
images of the events in the past, so I can "see" the vibe there.

As an author, will it be worthwhile at all since the writers workshops are 
closed?

Anyway, any comments, critique, etc. of the event?

Thanks,

Andre'
