I went last year, and it was pretty cool... The only thing that annoyed me was the amount of stalls that have little to nothing to do with "Geeks" still worth the time, the Cos Play was incredible!
 
I actually recently moved to the Western Cape and went through a "Arrgghhhh I moved away from all the cool Expo's and fests!" crisis, but I feel like FanCon might be a redeeming factor. Definitely in my diary! I just wonder how it will be...
