My time in Iceland has been the most edifying experiences I've had this year. The Fanfest is only part of the overall experience, although by itself it's still pretty epic, and pictures don't do it justice (as I've attempted to explain to my brother when I showed him my pictures from there.)
Also if you're traveling there from America (since you commented on expenditures), plan on spending no less than 100 dollars a day, because on top of getting shafted on the exchange rate Iceland has a high cost of living to begin with, which only makes things worse for us Yankees.

Yeah I should probably say the only days I was sober for any appreciable time was Thursday (because you have to be sober at Blue Lagoon) and Monday (because my flight left that day... on a related note, if you can afford it, stay an extra day after Fanfest ends in order to better explore Reykjavik)

What happened at the Blue Lagoon and why were there apologies extended regarding it?
I'm just throwing this idea out there, since I haven't actually heard any apologies about the Blue Lagoon side-trip. When we were there the weather was worse than at any other time at Fanfest. Howling wind, horizontal rain, and an air temperature I suspect was in the low thirties without taking wind-chill into account. You have to take a shower before entering the lagoon, which means being soaking wet while you walk the fifty feet or something from the heated building out through the elements towards the water.
From my time in the army I've learned that there's two primary kinds of suck: the traumatic kind that haunts you for months that you never want to talk about or experience again, and the kind that's worth calling home about to say "dude you'll never guess what I just did, it totally SUCKED!  ". Walking about in freezing temperatures soaking wet in a foreign country is the second kind of suck. I'd do it again for sure.
