Apparently, it's never too early to think about Dragon*Con

[featherynscale]

Hotel is booked. We're at the Hyatt, because they told us there were no rooms at the Marriott. Con is damned well nine months away and there are no rooms at the Marriott. This astonishes me. I guess we'll have to make the reservation for 2008 as we're leaving Atlanta at the end of 2007's event. I don't know.

This means that we spent a chunk of time working out the trip logistics last night between midnight and 1 a.m., which is always fun. It looks like our plan will be something like this: (presented mostly for the edification of wildnsquirrelly, matchgirl42, niveus_tigris, and archway [and anybody else that was thinking of dragging along with us])
- Leave Thursday, Aug 30, in the very early morning.
- Get in to Atlanta Thursday night. Have dinner and check kittenpants into the art show.
- Sleep in a Motel 6 or some such thing Thursday night.
- Come in Friday morning and register for Con. Check into the Hyatt.
- Do Con.
- Leave from Atlanta Monday, early afternoon.
- Get back to KC at 0:Dark-Thirty.
- Go back to work Tuesday morning, like fools.


Also, I'm going to need to update my con icon.

Think so?

Then show! Enjoy a bit of the East Coast! Bring the kidlet! I'm willing to bet that matchgirl42 and I could find a great room for the four of us that wouldn't be too torturous.

I know you're going to say "No" right away, but hey- give it time. You might even have a little fun while you're at it.

Have you seen the web site?

I would love to.
Funds are the issue, or believe me I'd have done it already.

September gives you a good amount of time to save. ;)

You'd think.

Mom's $2000 behind on her house payments again. There goes my tax refund, which was supposed to go towards the credit card debt we incurred during the Ruby fiasco.

plus interest.

Dooooooooooooooood. I would so love for you to go, if you can swing it.

Two words. Kevin Sorbo. 'Nuff said. ;)

Say Arnold Vosloo and you'll have me.

Great Gods Almighty. If only! We should start a petition, or a special interest group, or something. Well Endowed Ladies Request Arnold Vosloo at DragonCon.

I'm sorry. Let me go clean that up....

Talking about Arnold Vosloo can do that. ;)

Say it slowly, breathily, heavily, and repeatedly and You'll Really have me.
