If I was not into this I would spend all of my money traveling everywhere to see Taylor Swift, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood in concert and going to 10 or more country music festivals every year. Since I have this hobby I settle for 1 festival and this year in particular I am seeing Taylor Swift only 11 times on her tour. Next year I will see Carrie and Martina more since they will be back out on tour.
If I had to chose one or the other I would sell my collection and go to concerts and festivals. I have a lot of friends there that I see all the time and I am not sure if I would really like to hang out with some of the types of people that go to scifi conventions. No offense to anyone that goes to scifi conventions.
