Howl Con?

Has anyone heard of Howl Con?
? Is anyone going?

HowlCon

I'm wary of werewolf-themed get-togethers. I remember reading about some of the early ones, where invariably they involved a lot of liquor and foolishness (usually a number of underagers getting dangerously drunk). One memorable moment at one of these was when one well-known member got stupid-drunk, then continued to leap over the bonfire until he finally tripped and fell in. Not my kind of fun.

At the other end of the spectrum are the hug-wolf cons: a bit too spiritual and poofy for my tastes.

Any info would be appreciated!

I love you, Fenris! "...squishy new age and wicca stuff" is a great description!

Trouble is, I'm less likely to have much contact with the guests (except for panels-- and who goes to those?!?) and more likely to be with the crowds. I've been to small cons where I don't know anyone and usually end up fleeing after about an hour. It -would- be a great venue to try out a werewolf costume, but...I'm just as likely to chicken out and hide in my room.
