UnCon – Should it move?

In short, all the arguing over the name is pretty silly, since that’s what the argument is over. A Lexx con in Europe will not have much attendee overlap with a Lexx con in North America. Hell, cons on opposite ends of North America won’t have much of an overlap. Sharing names would just cause confusion.
I agree completely. I’ll go even go so far as to ask the musical question, “who cares if there *is* attentdee overlap?” What difference should that make? There was a time when I’d go to 3 or 4 sci-fi conventions a year, and I never thought once that they should all share the same name. Hell, even when I was helping to organize one convention that was associated with a larger one that took place later in the year (in a neighboring large city), coming up with an original name for our convention was never questioned. It wasn’t the same convention, it wasn’t in the same place, it may have had a large number of the same attendees, but it was its own entity. It needed its own name.
