Oh, then we're in the same position! Except I'm more personally responsible for the failure of Vidukon and Aussie con to get off the ground. Specifically with the Australian con, I can tell you exactly the situation, which is that nushanakt has more work commitments than anticipated and I reluctantly had to admit that organising the con single-handed wasn't realistic for me. The academic conference (http://revise2010.blogspot.com/) is still occurring and there may be an informal meet up of any vidders that attend but yeah... I am sad about it and I have been meaning to make an announcement but it's been very anxiety-provoking for me. Clearly I'm getting better though since I'm able to comment to you! :)
Anyway, I'll be at VVC and totally have had mixed feelings about it too. I too am going in a 'oh well give it a try' way. It's actually pretty weird for me because as you know I've been out of fandom so much lately... kind of ironic that I'm going this year when I really truly don't care, and not last year when I really badly wanted to go! LOL, such is life. But it will be cool to meet you! I'm so glad you'll be there. :) We will be newbies together!
