I am changing my mind again. Do I want to attend Westmoot? Yes. Do I want to attend it enough to spend the money on it? Ehhhhh (to be clear I can afford it easily enough, just balking at it)
Looks like I’m going to Minneapolis in May (unless I change my mind again)

Like, I was astonished when Westmoot 2025 fed attendees, give that none of the similarly-sized SFF cons I’d attended had provided food to attendees.
In my limited and potentially non-representative experience, Tolkien specific cons are friendlier and better organized than many general SFF cons, and mid sized cons are better than either large or small cons
