I know it's more for SF writing/fandom, but there's quite a bit of crossover into fantasy stuff as well. I was wondering if anyone was going or had gone recently?

It's a bit of a hike for me from Australia. 
But I will be attending my local speculative/fandom convention in early June. It will be my third year attending, and I find it invigorating, inspiring and energising. I'm a mad panel attendee, because I love to sit and listen to people discussing interesting topics (and let ideas and different viewpoints germinate and cross-pollinate in my creative well), but I have friends who prefer to spend the weekend socialising with other fans and find that just as invigorating.

I expect to have a notebook full of ideas and things to consider when I get back, as I did when I came back from the book festival last month. I had a hard time trying to figure out what all I want to do, as I'm interested in so much...and two of the gaming things that I want to go and do are at the same time, so I'm trying to figure out what the etiquette of the situation is.
Do I sign up for both and then let the moderator/gaming facilitator know that I'm probably going to be wandering off at some point? Or do I just quietly slip away?
And for the parties, how gauche is it to come during the last hour? Because I wanna check in to the Cyberpunk disco thing, but my schedule won't open up until close to midnight-ish.
Any tips, anyone?
I can't wait for the fiber arts circle, as there I'm totally within my element and I know all about talking to other knitters/needle art crafters. Although, I'm afraid I'll only be able to take my "boring" knitting--as my Firefly Browncoat in progress is in storage somewhere and the yarn is missing.
And the rest of my schedule is overbooked, as well. I think I have time to sleep, but that may be more like "naps" to fuel me through four days of idea gathering and socializing.

I'm moving that weekend, otherwise I'd seriously try to go. Maybe next year now that I know about it! Have fun
