I ended up not going. Got part of the way there and we decided to see a movie and eat out instead. "I am Legend" and steak at Lone Star won out.
Actually I just started a new anxiety medicine yesterday and figured maybe a 3 hour drive to a crowded convention center was not the best idea in the world.

Especially when one of my problems is social anxiety ( don't like long car rides or crowded places).
Maybe in a month or two when this stuff kicks in.
