How much does it cost? The website didn't say. Is it free? I don't think it could be, unless this is how they're spending Stimulus Funding or something. I doubt seriously I could go, (It's far away, I couldn't afford plane tickets by myself, that isn't a Holiday weekend, which means school for me on Friday and Monday, I'm sure the 'Redwall Con' is expensive, and I can't fund-raise enough money for that in a matter of weeks), but I mean if people couldn't afford plane tickets but could afford the actual price to get in, I guess Redwall Fans could Carpool or something. Seeing Redwall and saving the environment! Heh.

And isn't that Superbowl Weekend? Wouldn't it be more logical to plan in during the summer when everyone is home and there are no huge, once-in-a-year football games going on? I don't know if Redwall fans will pass this up for the Superbowl, but I'm sure because of that plane tickets will be ridiculously expensive.

It sounds cool, but it seems to be that the majority of the Redwall Community will miss out, which is a shame. Because it seems that the fan base is spread across such a huge area and the majority are probably the 10-15 years of age demographic, we don't have a bunch of filthy rich comic artists, like in ComiCon, who can spare a couple hundred to a thousand dollars for plane tickets and housing and such.
