SF/F/H Conventions: Why?

[mmerriam]

I am currently examining why I attended Conventions. Considering this year there were (are) eight cons I can name off the top of my head right here in the Twin Cities, I need to figure out what it is I want out of them, how I plan to get the things I want, and what my plan to do so should be.

So my question to you, Oh Mighty Flist, is: If you attended SF/F/H conventions, why do you go and what do you get out of them?

And yes, I am still working on a novel, thank you for asking.

Now that I'm past the big mess that is the middle (and I finally figured out how to fix the mess) I'm smokin' along at 1000+ words a day again. Plus, you know, I'm getting to the part where Holly disembowels someone and I get to destroy a major local landmark, which is always fun.
