Mmmmm...DragonCon

[featherynscale]

I'm glad I got out of bed today.

For a number of reasons, but not least among them: the possibility of going to DragonCon with wildnsquirrelly was raised. For a brief shining moment I'm seven, hopping up and down and squealing, imploring the cosmos, "Please, please, please, can I go to DragonCon? I'll be good, I promise!" (There's a lot of it going around today -- see adammaker.)

So I start running the calculations... $225 for a plane ticket, $65 for entry at the con... say $200 for hotel (I've done my time sleeping on the con hotel floor -- I'm too old for that, and the sort of costuming I now tend to favor has too many sharp bits. In the immortal words of Eddie Izzard, "You'll cut your bits off like that!")... I think I can manage it, maybe. No need for a car, you can get everywhere you need to go on the MARTA, so that's good.

I should totally go. Other people should totally go with me.

Which weekend is Labor Day this year, last in August or 1st in September?

I'm thinking about it. Unsure if it's viable financially, but my understanding is you don't fly to Cons, but drive through the night. It's only 12 hours or so. ;)

September 2-5.

Hey, we could drive, if we could be certain that one of the cars would make it. It is about 12 hours, and some of it is through some exciting mountainous territory, but you know about that, apparently.

Got it on my calendar as a placeholder. Since I'm being robbed of my Memorial Day weekend, I may be able to go.

Was just thinking about the cost of 2-3 plane tickets, vs. driving. We'll see...
