American cons

alias_sqbrSo, Cam and I have had another of our zany may-never-happen-but-fun-to-think-about ideas(*): renting an RV and driving across America (I can't get out of bed much, so we'll take the bed with us!)
Obviously one of the major things we would do on this trip is go to a Big American Con. (And we probably only have the spoons for one)
Comiccon seems too commercial and unbookish for me. (And probably too comic focussed for both of us)
Wiscon seems too book-oriented and feminist for Cam.
Dragoncon seems like a reasonable compromise between the two (at least in terms of bookishness)
Any others we should be considering? Are we misjudging Comiccon or Wiscon? I am a fairly average feminist-leaning geek girl looking for thinky panels, Cam a fairly average somewhat-feminist-leaning-but-not-that-much geek boy who wants to see tv stars.
I have also informed Cam that we are going to see as many people on my friendslist as possible :D (That don't take us out of our way, anyway)
(*)And if it does it won't be until at least 2011
