I'm actually thinking about Dragon*Con this year - though sadly Anne McCaffrey is yet to be added to the guest list. It's advertised as a "multi-media, popular arts convention—focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film" so hopefully it'll be as multi-faceted as Marcon.

I do agree with you about Marcon being so wide spread. That's why I like it. I always had wanted to go to Star Trek conventions whilest growing up but never did and now that I've been to Marcon and I know how (by the sounds of it) many show-specific cons go, I think I prefer the Marcon-variety. I've been Ohayocon a few times and though it was fun I often felt bored and was unsure what to do - other than watch anime (and I don't generally feel I need to go to a con to watch anime non-stop).

I'm trying to decide between Dragon*Con and Pennsic... or both...

I'd say go to Pennsic, but was blown away by the guests at Dragoncon. It's like Marcon on steroids! (Of course, it's all the way in Georgia, and I tend not to travel that far.)

One of the things I like about Marcon is that it's an "everything" con. There are book discussions, t.v. and movie discussions, filk, anime, dressing up and dancing, etc. The one thing I would like to try at Marcon that I haven't yet is gaming. But it would be harder to go to a con that only did one of those things.
