And PLEASE I never meant to say *every* east coast Con. And I was specifically referring to when I was there, meaning 18-24 years ago.
When I was there you could attend a Con every weekend of the year without leaving the New York->Charleston area. No, I never made it to New England Cons, nor any Atlanta Cons.
Exceptions: WeaponsCon didn't use badges at all, just wristbands, and I don't seem to remember pictures on the badges at Disclave either. I never attended Darkover either, even though it was fairly close to me.
EveCon, CastleCon, BaltiCon ... DC-area Cons.
