I'm a bit behind reading my digests, I'll delurk to throw in my 2 cents. I would assume I qualify as young-is. I'm in my 20s and have been making lace since I was 16. I am currently in grad school (finishing up in a few months!). I never thought about going to a convention until last summer. Unfortunately, there was no way I could take the time off at that point, even for a few days. I briefly considered going to Ithaca, but decided to go home instead (Europe - I live in the US). There is no way I can go to Colorado this year, summer, even thoughI've always wanted to go there, since I start my new job in July. If circumstances at work would have been different last year, I would have loved to go to Harrisburg mainly since I could have gone for a few days only. I only get 2 weeks of vacation (grudgingly) and it's much easier to break it down into smaller chunks than to take off too much at a time. I even went home for only a week... These factors would make me more likely to go to a convention: -be able to go for only a few days as opposed to a whole week (weekends would be ideal) -held in an area where my hsuband could find plenty to do during the day. If I were to take time off from work, we would go together. -cheaper hotel. Yes, the fancy hotels are nice, but in the end I don't care what the lobby looks like as long as the hotel is decent in a safe area, tha't all I care for -a place to find our own food near the hotel. I don't care to spend a week eating hotel food, no matter how good!
