To Doikecarter. Welcome to the gabit thread!!
If your sister is not a big AT fan, I wouldn't try to convince her.
I guess .. if you're a really outgoing person, you just come on your own and there's no doubt you'll meet people at the con. But I would find that a little scary and would want to know people beforehand.
My advice would be, go by yourself, but make sure you make friends online beforehand. People you can meet up with.
Easiest way to do that is .. here And I guess on Livejournal. The gabitboards are pretty quiet these days. Just join us here, chat and you'll get to know us. Usually by the time the con gets nearer we start making plans to meet up. It's also a good idea to try contact a few people to actually hang out with. So you know you have people to meet up with.
What also helps ... search for a roomie and if you find someone that clicks, you maybe also have found someone to hang out with
There's also the meet up for new Amanda fans on the friday of the con. There you can meet people that are all new, so you have some people to hang out with.
Don't be shy about coming, I've never heard or seen anyone that didn't feel at ease! The Amanda conventions have a wonderful vibe!
