the location that got people excited was Salem
I checked into that last time the East Coast came around but the hotel situation was more limited (2 main ones in town) and pricier than what we usually go for. But who knows...

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stunthusband would rapidly find his misanthropy would have him running screaming from the horrifying over-stuffed convention.
And this is precisely why I won't be going, probably ever. The one Dragon*Con I attended and last year's New York Comic Con totally cured me of wanting to go to horrifying over-stuffed cons.
I might be willing to coordinate a Richmond F2F. Of course, I'd love a Charlottesville F2F, but we have a teeny airport. It costs more to fly into and out of than Richmond, which is a hub.
And speaking of which, what's the airport sitch with Worcester? Or is that in the link? ::goes to look::

And just black out ANY time after September through early November (you know, just after Halloween). Summers have started getting awful too though. And the usual May time frame runs into Salem State College graduation.
It would need to be WAY off (any given) season here to work.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Mailed my check today to pay my last F2F bill. I winced -- but I still think it was very much worth it. Thanks for the good company, the good conversations, and all the entertainment.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There are certain people that you cannot *say* things like, "Ooh you can light water on fire" and not expect them to immediately want to do it themselves. It's just ... compulsive. Jilli's still bitter I had a kitchen fire without her.

Sure, but you might say "*I* can light fire on water!" and end up a minor character in a comic about odd superheroes NOW MIGHTENEN YOU?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I cannot fault Trudy's logic. And, honestly, I know he's all famous and stuff, but I can't imagine why Gerard Way wouldn't be delighted to meet Jilli.
...I'm not going to be able to persuade you guys to a Bangkok F2F, or even an Old England one, I know. But, damn it, I'm going to lobby for the 2010 F2F to be in the summer holiday, because I CANNOT pull this 'Hi-I'm-taking-time-off shit in termtime' again. That was my lot. And I'm going to be just gutted if you have another F2F without me.
WANT MY PEEPS!
