So, to join with everyone else (or at least sylvertongue), let me ask... Are you going to Phoenix Rising? (Non-HP-fen friends, don't fret that you don't know what this is. It's another HP conference/convention thinger ( Read more... )

I'm going to Phoenix Rising. Would love to share space with you again! Am desperately trying to figure out how to get sylvertongue to come. Which may mean figuring out how to get her a place to sleep that I can afford for her, since airfare is so 'spensive. But, yes.

And there will be no working for me, only playing and drinking and enjoying.

YAY! YAY AND FURTHER YAY!

Going and rooming with some of the people I love most would absolutely be enough reason to make me go there. I might even be interested in coming in a little early - ie, Tuesday night instead of Wednesday or Thursday - even if it meant staying elsewhere at first, and make a mini-vacation of it. I've never been to New Orleans. I have a music/dance camp friend who's a jazz musician there...

I would be more than happy to pitch in something to help get sylvertongue there. I bet a few other folks would be too. I *really* want to meet her, and this is the most likely way, and it would also be kickass fun.

!!!!

I think that bears repeating. !!!!!

I, uh. Thank you. I'm sure it won't be necessary, but I'm really very, very touched. I very much want to meet you, too.

I was saying to Lissa that if this room goes ahead, what we'll have is a good chunk of the fandom civil rights fighters in one place, and I kind of like that idea.

And Lissa is ALL for an informal (i.e. not vetted or scheduled or publicized) panel to discuss Civil Rights within the HP-verse.

You were in the cue from the moment the word "suite" was invented. ♥

This will totally make up for our not being able to do TWH together. :D

INDEED.

It's a whole timeshare thingie! It's like... t00by condom, redux, or something. All that would be needed to complete the deja vu is Billy Joel on endless loop.

What's a New Orleans-ian way to describe a t00by condom? a t00by saxophone?

I also realized that the other deja vu would involve riding in a very very crowded car from Atlanta, sampling so much yummy Southern food our tummies hurt. I think I will save the Southern food smorgasbord until NO itself :). But when you and Kelly drive in from Atlanta, think fondly of the Great Southern Food Tour...
