Its my belief that Toronto fans either save their money for Anime North next month or go the Eeriecon in Niagara Falls, which is the same weekend as Penguicon and has Joe Haldeman this year for a big name guest.

So only the LINUX open source aspect would get them to Penguicon.

Some of them have come down for that in the past.

A few like Gibbs come because of strong local ties.
