Wondrous Apparitions, Provided by Magicians.

I know you have a very subjective definition of it, but to joke like that might take all the fun out of going. :D

From:

Pshaw. For all we know (and we could take a poll, if it would help), the cosmolocal definition of "

featherynscale being good" requires her bouncing up and down a *lot* more...

From:

Ok, fine. In this case, "I'll be good" primarily means that I won't blow any more money on the venture than strictly necessary, that I'll try my damnedest not to get arrested or thrown out of the Con, and that although I will probably chase the goth kids, I'll make a solid effort not to catch any.

From:

Not a bad point- that was always a good part of *my* definition of it.

From:

Jordan's going to be there...

(Also, dammit. I don't have any "making a cute and innocent face" icons. Must correct that.)

From:

For whatever it's worth, I first scrolled down to this comment and only read as far as "primarily means that I won't blow...", and then I filled in the rest, mostly with goth kids.

Anyway. That's not why you're evil, though.

From:

OK, *this* is why you're evil. Jordan?

Blergh. Where is this silly thing? (Can you tell I've never been to a Con?)

From:

And why am I evil?

(Dammit! Need innocent face icon AGAIN! Twice, in two minutes!)

From:

I thought you'd understand...

In other news, what on earth does "cosmolocal" mean? I have to stop typing so fast...or start thinking quicker.

From:

Do you still have the red faery icon at home? That's kinda innocent...ish.

From:

I'd taken it to mean our little neck of the cosmos. Didn't sound too far fetched to me.

From:

Atlanta. You know you want to go. It's labor day weekend. You wouldn't even have to take a day off from work.

I'm still digging for why

kittenpants wants to go. Other than, you know, a lot of art, artists and afore (but below)mentioned goth kids.

From:

Try as you might love, everyone that knows you already knows that halo of yours is too rusty & dented to shine brightly. That's OK, we all love you anyway. Quite possibly *because* of it. :D

From:

gotta watch those goths. It's hard to tell the jail bait from the rest under all that makeup.

nice girls go home and go to bed...
good girls go to bed and go home...

From:

You're a cleverer man than I, Gunga Din.

From:

Aye, that's how I get me booty. ;)

From:

Oh goody! The web page says that Joss Whedon is going to be there! If that's not an invitation to fan boydom (or fan girldom, depending on your component bits/frame of mind)I don't know what is.

From:

I'm not a Whedon fan, as it turns out. Please do me the favor of not trying to convert me - Dan's been trying for years.

It does mean, however, that the contingent of monsters will be larger than usual, and I'm okay with that. :)

From:

That's one of the problems, yeah.

From:

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. ;)

From:

Hey, we agree on something. I don't like Joss Wheedon either.

But how does Wheedon = monsters? I mean, aside from vamps, which I already expected...

What is dragon con???

From:

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.

From:

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...

From:

No worries there. A person either likes his work or not. I hope you know by now that while I enjoy a good debate converting others to my way of thinking is not one of my personal goals. There are plenty of other folk around to pay homage to Mr. Whedon, and I'm sure your lack among them will be missed. As you say, there are *way* too many other monsters lurking about to warrant intense focus on even a honey-dipped creature such as yourself.

From:

DragonCon (http://www.dragoncon.com) is the biggest sci-fi, fantasy, and comic convention in the US. A long weekend of films, contests, parties, concerts, discussion, shopping, drumming, gaming, etc. With costumes.

From:

Yes, Whedon = Monsters because there was a *huge* variety of creatures that made appearances on his *shows*. Not *all* of the evil minions were vampires. Hell- not all of the vampires were evil minions. Guess you had to watch to understand. No big deal.

From:

You failed to mention some of the more *fluid-involving* activities that go on there. ;)

From:

Sure. Drinking and fucking, but I figure that's implicit in "partying".

From:

You should come to Columbus on Memorial Day weekend for Marcon.

From:

Hrm. I hadn't considered that... :)
