The furthest I've ever been is Wales. I like to let conventions come to me :P
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

The first and only convention i ever went to was small, a bit boring, but had lots of cool things to buy (I spent £150). It's also where i found that i'm actually a rather attractive man.
Pound Sterling. :O
Where was the convention? I want to go to one, and the nearest one to me would be RBW in London, but it's like £100 and I'm poor. D:

The convention was in Leicester, DeMonfort Uni, and it was like £15 fee.

Ah, right.
Now I feel silly. Guess I just gotta look harder for these kind of ones.
Thanks for clearing that up, though. :D
