Does anyone know what the Mythopoeic Society Conference is like? It's in Berkeley this year and if it's any good the OH and I might consider checking it out.

Um. Kind of insular? And full of more-Christian-than-thou Christians?

ellen_kushner has an LJ entry (http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/116607.html) about it.

Might get more/better/different answers if you ask when people aren't at cons. (I'm checking mail/parts-of-LJ over breakfast just now, but not everyone bothers getting online, and I know this isn't the only con this weekend.)

I've been to a number and, in fact, used to be on the Council of Stewards. I describe them as a mix of academic conference and sf con. We have serious papers and good panels during the day and then get very silly at night. I think calimac is this year's chair if you'd like more info.
