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.

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

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

* 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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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!

... some, IIRC? Plus rough ground and uneven footing. But it is lots of fun.

Ooh, IcompletelyON, I was going to warn Jilli against watching last night's Colbert Report if she hasn't already seen it! There are tarantulas crawling on Stephen's arm and head !!
