A few of us have been tossing around the idea of having a Texas slashy_retreat. We're just now in the planning stages, but are interested in knowing who would be interested in attending

Never been to Texas... and it is a distance... but damn, it sounds tempting. Lots of 'depends' though, money/cost... date/time... know for certain though that I can't do spring... But so damned tempting :D
Up in Connecticut... isn't the Orlando one where Owl and Widdershin were? I got lucky and met up with them in NY.... damn hon, I do so want to go... desperately!
Memorial Day is right out; there's an SF con my husband and I go to that weekend. And WorldCon is around Labor Day. Even if the retreat misses one of them by a bit, there's the money thing with travelling and all twice in close temporal proximity. :/ I'll have to figure out how to astrally project myself to Texas or something so I can at least be with you all in spirit. [laugh/flail]
It's sounding like a fall date works better for most people so maybe it could still be a possibility? You can generally get some pretty cheap airfare into either DFW (American) or Love Field (Southwest)...
I'll keep an eye on how things go and if it looks doable I'll ask Jim. Hey, he surprised me last time, so you never know. :)
It's not so much that plane fare would be expensive (relatively speaking) or anything like that. It's more that the cost of the retreat plus plane fare is a significant amount of money -- definitely worth it for what we get, but still, it's not like I'm asking for a new computer game or a DVD -- and asking for something like that within a couple of weeks of a fairly expensive trip that Jim and I'll have taken makes me a bit twitchy. I'll keep a set of virtual fingers crossed, though. [nod]
I know what you mean, willowwing and I usually try to make it to TIFF every September, though at least this will be local for me so it will be easier to justify both (assuming there's anything to draw us to Toronto again this fall).
