Too many conventions, to little money
I have a dilema
Next year there are many cool things happening. Two of thouse cool things are Wondercon (a comic convention) and Consonance (a filk convention). Now thease are ecpesially cool as they are dated close together and in the Lovely San Francisco. Also there are lots of cool people who will be there, including the amazingly talented Playing Rapunzel.
The less cool thing is thease are happening in (or around) March 2009, which unfortunatly sits between the UK filk con and the Eastercon, meaning I will be paying for 4 convention hotels (plus food, drink and trasport) in 3 months, which will be very very tight (or even imposible). Also as Wonder dates are yet to be announced, meaning booking for flights is uncertain
Anouther two cool things that are happening next year are Azkatraz (a Harry Potter con) and Comic-Con (...well, yeah). I know Azkatraz will be cool as alot of my very cool friends are planning on going, plus it is on the weekend of the relise of HBP, so lots of fun there! And as for Comic-con? Well I've wanted to go for years, and this is a great opportunity to go, when I know people who will be going themselves so I have a safety net of people for emergency haning (wow, that really doesn't sound right!). Thease cons are within a week of each other (infact they are in the same week as one runs 18th to the 21st and the other is the 23rdto the 26th), meaning potentially less time needed off work (although I would still probably take 3 weeks for a proper holiday).
The problem with thease cool things is the are alot more expencive and as they are in the summer (July) thef lights will probably also be more expencive.
Now, I had previously promised to go to the first 2 con's, for support and sillyness. Now though I am leaning more towards the summer cons. It will be hot! Plus I will have more tie to save for spending money and hotel money and everything. I'm about 90% sure that I want to go in the summer, and I think I will regret it if I don't but I feel bad for missing the rapunzel girls (they really are quite awesome). Also I'm not as sure on crash spce around July (hinthint).
So people of friends list, what do you think I should do?!
(Keeping i mind I recerve the right to ignor your suggestions, lovely of course.)
