    The interesting thing with vampire books/shows/movies nowadays is they're not as scary as they used to be. I hate horror movies and I haven’t watched movies like Interview with the Vampire but I love True Blood. It’s not as scary and it really is very soap opera-ish though a good mix of comedy, action and romance.

    I saw the trailer for Twilight II last night and man, does it look bad. I see where Buffy and True Blood would interest people but this looked like shit. From what I gather, this is the plot: Girl gets boy, boy throws creepy party at a McMansion and all the girls were bridesmaids gowns, girl get papercut, girl loses boy. Girl lays down in the woods to die, Rastafarian werewolf attacks girl, hobo boy turns into Padfoot, possibly saves girl.

    I don’t understand the appeal of vampires. I hate it when a small needle is inserted in my veins to draw blood for testing, so I am damned if I am going to find someone sinking their fangs into a major artery appealing.

    @Rare Affinity: Vampirism is more about sex than gore. The act of biting someone on the neck is seen as erotic, in some interpretations.

    I like the vampire genre, but that doesn't mean I want to spend a few of my precious vacation days immersed in it.

    Wait, this is seriously the first Vampire-Con? That is the only thing that surprises me. No snark intended to the editors - I just thought that everything has conventions these days.

    @lilbobbytables is a la-di-da feminist: I thought so, too. I remember Dateline or something YEARS ago doing stories about vampire cults or something -- clubs, maybe. Cults, clubs, whatevs. Anyway, I really think this is old hat, sirs and madams. Old hat.

    Can someone into these types of things (ie comic-con) please explain the appeal? I'm into a good vampire story now and then but this sounds about as appealing as root canal. On second though less, because you at least get fun prescription drugs with the latter.

    @bluebears: Last year I went to my first con (PAX), and the appeal seems to be that you're surrounded by like-minded people and vendors who have tailored their wares to you. Lots of cons have discussion panels on different tropes within the genre, or the role of minorities, or how to get started in the SCA, or whatever. It's a place where, instead of getting mocked for having a sweet Legolas costume, you're more likely to get laid because of it. It's a good way for authors to connect with fans and network with other people within the industry, and oh, yeah, there's usually a ton of insane costumes to gawk at.

    @Ipomoea is a joyful girl: Back in the day, I used to go to a lot of comics conventions and lots of those, where you're talking about something "collectible", are good places to find rarer items. I don't know that that particular aspect has the draw it used, what with Ebay and all, but that was a big part of the excitement for me. Also, the like-mindedness, getting to talk to the people in the industry, etc.

    @bluebears: conventions are fun because they really are a great place to not be embarrassed about your weird secret fangirl obsessions. now, i wouldn't really go to this one, per se, simply because "SQUEE! VAMPIRES!" is too broad for me, but a buffycon? hell to the yes.

    But what if you hate celery?


    Why can't it be a carrot instead? Or a pint of ice cream?

    Man, this just reminds me of that whole "skinny-fat" idea - any curve AT ALL to your middle, and you're gonna die of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and loneliness ('cos you're fat, obvs).
