I can't compare DC to any of the other big ones, since I've only been 
to DCon, but I've had a blast the two years I've been going.  The 
gaming is a little light in comparison to everything else that is 
going on, but I've always had a tough time figuring out what I was 
going to play in  -- there was enough stuff that I couldn't do 
everything.

It is more of a scifi con, but with 20-30 thousand people there, 
there's plenty of crossover.  :)  I thought the panels were pretty 
weak last year, although I was pleased wiht them the year before.

Yeah -- that's one of the reasons it moved.  Although now it is 
opposite the PhilCon/WorldCon this year...
