My Word on Sizecon

It was perhaps the best thing I'll ever do this year.

I must admit that going into Sizecon that I wasn't expecting very much. I figured it'd be only fifty something people, with little going on, and little to do. I was happy to have been proven wrong. While the set up of the event was rather clustered(given the small venue), it gave me the chance to meet with people one on one, con-goers and artists alike. I got to meet Mabo(MilkyBody) and BustArtist in the flesh, as well as one of the behind the scenes guys over at ExpansionFan comics. Toward the end of the day I even got to meet and greet with the producer of Maxgrowth, as well as their prop technician, the prop creator, and two of their wonderful actresses. They were such generous people, inviting me to sit and talk and show off their props, doing so without knowing I had a VIP ticket with them.

Yet what really stood out for me was how level and down to earth everyone was. For the first couple hours I kept talking to people who were from the Macro/Micro community, and they were just as open about their likes as I was. A few folks were a bit shy at first, but once they got a feel for the environment, they were buzzing around the room with stars in their eyes. After that I began to run into people from our community, and it was such a wonderful thing to finally voice my feelings and opinions about our fetish to another in person. I mentioned this to each person I spoke to, and they shared the exact same sentiment.

Panels that I went to were highly interactive, and sometimes just broke down into audience members sharing stories about their experiences with their respective fetish, with the panelists sharing their own right back. I went to both macro/micro centered panels, the panel on size in relationships, as well as expansion. In an older thread, I recall someone saying that the macro/micro community "isn't us." After the con, I have to disagree. They are us, just a specific branch of what we do. Growth and size change go hand in hand with us, with increasing size comes more to love, more to embrace, more to enjoy. Our perceptions of our respective kinks may be different, but at the core we share so many similarities.

I don't want to keep rambling on, but if there is any point I want to get across it's this: Sizecon was a huge step for all the communities it represented, as well as a huge success. The event sold out, and rightfully so. Between the people, the panels, and the atmosphere...I had an excellent time, more than what words can explain. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be attending next year, and definitely suggest anyone and everyone in this community to try and attend as well.
