I highly recommend Diversicon. It is a local convention of about 100 people in Bandana Square, and is excellent with disability issues.
I have been to CONvergence every year since the beginning. This year, we made the decision not to go because as you and others have already said, it is just too crowded, and because many of my closest friends have already stopped attending.
I remember how overwhelmingly relieved I felt after making the decision. I wasn't expecting it to be so strong of a feeling. We will be camping at Lake Superior this year and I'm looking forward to it with nearly giddy anticipation. I have not felt that way about CONvergence for longer than I'd care to admit.
It's a great convention. Obviously, lots of people love it. It is not my thing.
