[fandom] Writercon 2009
I tried to buy my Writercon 2009 ticket to add to my list of things I accomplished today (so far, it's a short list), but the payment won't go through and I'm too foggy-headed to troubleshoot it. Anyone know if their paypal system is messed up right now? I'll try again tomorrow (or will at least be able to ask for help tomorrow, I hope). (Also, I can't decide what to put on my badge. I'd like it to read like this:
Carla
escritoireazul
but I don't know if that's possible. Maybe I'll make my own LJ sticker with my default icon, a la what they do at Wiscon.)
I'll be driving from Kansas City; it looks like it's less than seven hours, which actually makes it the shortest road trip of the summer. Most of August is open right now, and I don't know what I'll be doing during it, but the idea of my car and my music and the open road is intoxicating.
I'm rooming with nikitangel. It's a little weird to be attending a convention that isn't Wiscon, and to attend one without kphoebe, revena, chr0me_kitten, cabell, etc. I already know how to be comfortable in person with them, and that's not something I am good at being.
Still, I keep pushing myself to try new things, and this is something I've really been looking forward to doing. nikitangel started talking it up in 2006, and though I couldn't attend that year, since I didn't learn about it until May, I'm glad to go this year.
Who else is going? We should hang out.
(My computer wants to restart. I'm going to bed.)
