Here's my outside perspective and totally uninformed impression of the MISFITs/CONvergence relationship vs ATC/AD. MISFITs looks and feels like a social organization. A group of people that come up with ideas to bring the local scifi/fantasy community closer together through craft groups, ice cream socials, discussion groups, etc etc. and CONvergence is the con they happen to throw on the side.

ATC to me feels like the group that runs AD and that's it. Maybe it needs more people involved to take on the larger social role that AD does. But given that so many on the board are on AD staff too it tends to stretch people a little thin. That's why I've been so hesitant to get involved with it. Purely because I don't have the time to help run three local fan organizations and maintain a full time job. It just won't happen without a total mental breakdown occurring.
