Sorry, Greg -- you should find a new set of sources.  Cons are OK on
their own terms, but are not a good place to meet women.  In terms of
percentage female(s), a reasonable ranking is:

	computer hardware < fandom < computer software

Of course, a special problem is that:

	Silicon Valley < almost anywhere

I'm not claiming that it's not possible to meet a "more woman" at a con,
even in San Jose, but the percentages are better in almost any other
form of human activity.

P.S. The women you might encounter at a NY/NJ con are much more likely
to be involved in the publishing/writing/art end of things, so watch the
boring computer talk.
