Programming notes
This may be of interest to leiascully, coffeesuperhero, zhukora1, commodoremarie, solarwind, readiness, and anybody going to SDCC or Dragon*Con.
...I find it inexplicably amusing that those are the two most convenient cons for me to go to. I guess I'm technically just as close to Chicago Comic-Con as to Dragon*Con, but I'll still be in California then.
May 11: Road trip!
Going to see Stones River and Parkin and Shiloh (possibly I will swing up to LIBO as well?) and all the many parks between here and leiascully/coffeesuperhero's house. Then a couple days with them, and back down to Jackson for a week or so.
Status:
Very much a whenever we get there we get there kind of a trip. Possibly there will be some camping involved, but I shouldn't have any problem finding sites midweek pre-Memorial Day.
July 4 - August 13: LSA Institute, UC Berkeley.
Status:
-Registered for the institute, have given them a very large chunk of my hard-earned money.
-Have to book the plane with my free voucher from Comic-Con '08; have to actually call them on the phone and speak to a real human person. Woe.
-Put in an application to live at International House; haven't heard back yet. No reason to think I shouldn't get it, though.
July 23-26: OMG SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON YEY
Status:
-4 Day pass bought (several weeks ago)
-Plane ticket bought; I will be arriving ~9AM on Thursday and leaving at 3 on Sunday.
-Costumes not yet planned. Whatever I'm doing has to get done between mid-May and July. Definitely an Atlantis science uniform (S1-3, probably command grey), probably some cyberpunk. Possibly the Question again, because it travels really well and looks good (and I have some thoughts to make it better); however, it was kind of a pain in the ass. Definitely not going for the full face mask on Saturday.
September 4-7: Dragon*Con, what? Hotlanta, GA
Status:
-Haven't bought my membership yet; am I correct in thinking that it's an all-or-nothing with them?
-No plane ticket necessary! Atlanta is only 4 hours away!
-Scheduling's a little up in the air; it can be, though, because I'm driving. I also don't know- when does stuff get started on Friday at D*C? Do people show up on Thursday night, or should I leave after my 10AM class? I can't stay Monday, because we don't get Labor Day off around here, so I'd leave late on Sunday night.
-Probably same costumes as Comic-Con; however, I might can do Valant? Cause the biggest problem with that costume (other than the jacket) was that it doesn't travel well. Again, essentially needs to be done before LSA starts. I sort of think we need a frakkin BSG group. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
-Where are you staying, fangirls? Cause now is the time to make hotel arrangements, and I haven't got any yet.
