Any Europe travellers?
Hi
Having watched the growth of MagFest over the past year or two and the mass amount of videos on youtube documenting its nuclear fun, I've been meaning to travel to it sometime.

As my login suggests, I've traveled from Australia for MAGFest, one year by myself, and one year bringing my husband too. This year I know there was also someone who came from Russia. Oh, and one of the performers, a member of the Megas, traveled from the Philippines to be there!
IT IS SO WORTH IT.
(I helped rationalize the expense by making a US family visit out of it too, though. And I don't go to any other conventions at all during the year, I just save up for this one.)
