GaryCon

So, I'm thinking about going to GaryCon this next year, the D&D/rpg con held in Gygax's home town every spring. I've never gone, but this year I'll be up at Marquette working on a Tolkien project at about the time the con is scheduled and might be able to drive down to lake Geneva for the day. And it'd be nice to see some familiar faces of folks whose time at TSR overlapped with my own.
Any recommendations, suggestions, opinions?
