Check it out, a lotta people are going... celebs that is.

I was uh... thinkin' about it, and now that they've backed up my training dates to 29 May - 7 August... I could probably go if I uhh... wanted to :D

Would anybody else be interested in puttin' a TriS pack together again?

Jolene and Connor and Dominic are gonna be there :D

A writer friend of mine (with a published fantasy novel and connections, no less 8) ) has invited me to DragonCon, a general SF con in Atlanta, over Labor Day weekend. I'm afraid two cons in one month is a bit excessive, even for me. I'll kick myself later for passing up the chance to meet JB, I'm sure... but my friend says she'll introduce me to her literary agent if I go to the con with her. :D

Hell, Distracted, you can write off the expenses, if you have any writing income anyway. That's networking! (Good luck!)

I'd love to go!

When is it?

Now would be the time before wee one comes!

Oh,

August 6 - August 10

They just keep makin it longer and longer...

I'd be able to show up the 7th at the earliest.

Dude I knew a guy who goes to DragonCon every year... those folks are weird :lol:

I just looked at the guest list though and there's a ton of BSG and later SG1 stars. Plus Gigi Edgely :D

You know what, if Evangeline Lilly was going... it would probably be enough to switch my plans :lol:

While I'd love to go and meet other TriS folks, I'll still be here. But it's about the time I'm looking into going to the Great Barrier Reef, so that's grand for me. :D

Maybe next year.

Alas. I can't be in NY visiting my daughter, in KY visiting my wife's family, and in Vegas all within two weeks of each other. My poor overstretched billfold would never take it. *sigh* But once again I beseech anyone who goes for lotsa pictures.

Tut, tut. Don't you know that's what credit cards are for? Why wait when you can have everything you've ever wanted, now? You deserve to have all your dreams come true, TODAY! And all you need to make your dreams come true is a high enough credit limit!!!

That was sarcasm. I couldn't pass up the opportunity for the comment, but in actuality I am against this practice.

LOL, that's a little bit of where I am. I'll find out when I get home and start paying the bill if I can actually afford what I just did :lol:

Er... guess what? I checked my schedule, just for kicks. I mean, it's totally ridiculous for a responsible adult to go to THREE SF conventions in three months, right? Ludicrous.

But after Elessar and eK BEGGED on Saturday, I decided to just take a look, right? Doesn't hurt to take a look.

Not only is the week of the Vegas con during semester break when I'd ordinarily work only half time for one week and then be off another week, the convention falls on the week I'm scheduled to be off anyway. :shock:

I guess God wants me to go to Vegas. :D

Now I need to talk my husband into it. :?
