I don't think she is our main headliner, though.  I've never gotten the 
sense that anyone attends Arisia for the guests of honor first and 
foremost.  At the risk of treating anecdotal evidence as gospel - most of 
the people I know attend Arisia because of the other people attending 
Arisia first, and the cool things they can do while there second.

Given that atmosphere, I'm not inclined to feel particularly jealous where 
our GOH's time is concerned.

That said, if I did think that GOHs were a big draw to the point of nearly 
being the reason for the convention, I'd agree with you pretty heavily.
