Vividcon is SO MUCH FUN. Basically the panels have a moderator and they share vidding knowledge and/or ask questions from the audience. They're usually full of really interesting vidding stuff and different perspectives are always welcomed so you get to hear multiple points of views. I always learn a lot about vidding from little ways to bigger ones. Sometimes you need to see stuff demonstrated in action or just have a chat with someone that helps you. It's always inspiring too for vidding because there's so much information and excitement and creativity in the air. I had lots of vid idea type stuff sparked last year.
Well the prices are right, it should be about $108 or so per night but you can split it with your roommates. The tax may be a bit more. Everything is free but last year there was a $20 (maybe 10) price for a open bar. Food is often eaten at the Outback Steakhouse so you might want to plan for those meals and be sure to bring some money to buy any vidding DVDs you may want. There's not a lot of miscellaneous expenses unless you plan to do other stuff.
Really, if you love vids and would love to meet some vid lovers, it's the perfect con. I've had the time of my life on both occasions. And I would definitely recommend to try to submit a Premiere vid or at least Club Vivid while you're there. There's nothing like getting instantaneous feedback and being part of the show no matter how nervewracking it is. People are definitely really nice and welcoming for the most part, it's a great atmosphere. I just love it so much :)
