I wasnt able to go to pennsic this year (buying the house and all), but I like getting there on the thursday of the first week and leaving the wednesday or thursday of the second week. I seem to get the best of both worlds, some of the quiet and some of the war. I try to limit myself to one or two classes (something I absolutely must attend and one jsut to be goofy about).

But I know what you mean about last year, I couldnt wait to leave.
