It's looking more and more like I'll be able to make it this year.
keeps fingers crossed
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

I'm going to have to wait and see. If business turns around by late spring, I'm hopeful I can attend. but if I have to take a salary cut I'll likely be using my tax refund for shelter and food rather than airfare.

* Except for the Underground Tour. That's awesome.
I was totally going to ask about that. I remember when I was a kid, I saw the second Kolshack TV movie (The Night Strangler), and the climax took place in the underground city part of Seattle. I've always wanted to see that IRL.

I realllly wanna go now! Baseball. Underground. Sci-fi. Buffistas galore! I should know how the finances look in the next few weeks, once my DC trip is off the visa card.

It's awesomecakes! I love it. We once set a GURPS game there! I mean, I'm a frothing building history geek, so it totally places to my interests, but I think other people enjoy it, too.
Baseball, OTOH, is totally skippable in Seattle.

I'll do the SciFi, the Underground and any other good shopping. I don't do baseball or heights (the Space Needle is right out for me.) As long as I'm working by June, I'm coming. You can thank the huge ass tax refund I got for that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The underground tour (which I've done twice) demonstrates that the history of Seattle is dictated by its sewage systems. It's awesome!
