Origins
Almost definitely going, though not entirely sure how we're getting there yet.
Flying is the obvious answer, except it's ass-expensive and I hate flying (indeed my most recent moments in a plane, landing at Boston after Origins 2004, were my worst in-a-plane moments ever and AFAIC justified all the years of flight-fear before that). Driving is cheap but not a popular option with other elements of the Volity Supreme Executive Committee. (I personally like long drives so long as I'm drowning in portable media, but also recognize that the trip back is usually 15% as fun as the trip to, and when that trip is 13 hours long, hmm yes mumble grumble.)
If we fly I'm seriously getting dnrku first. Maybe while I'm spending my last dollars on the ticket, too. Deaden the pain.
I still haven't collected solid opinions about all of this from every member of V-SEC, but they will all probably gather at 1000 Volity Towers tonight to watch Dr. Who, so I can address them then.
