but we're like so vanilla lifestyle.. no drinking/no drugs/ we don't party... that I'm not sure how we'd fit in?
What's a good first time convention to go to?

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the industry, infact, a huge chunk of the industry aren't off their tits at every available chance.
I don't drink [to excess, at least], do drugs and am boring at parties, but every convention I go to, I love. It's just like a normal slice of society. There are the people that are up for the 9AM breakfast each day, and the people that are crawling in at 9AM each day. It's like a big disjointed family.
Don't worry about a booth, don't worry about the 'female content' issue. There are many, many intelligent women who work in the industry [both content and not] - in billing, sales, marketing, support, ceos, etc.
I've never seen a show descend into a meat market. Pick a good show and a good time, just come along and say hi.
I think the best thing about the shows, esp for the closed shows [ie, florida etc] - is that you can go and chat to anyone - and you'll walk away with a new business contact, or at least someone who understands the industry.
Chance of that happening in the 'real world' - very slim
