My July Schedule
Well, it looks pretty certain that I'm not going to be able to attend Necon this year. It's a shame, since this will be the first Necon I've missed since I started going in 2000, but with a lot of my friends not going this year and my wacky schedule and finances, it just isn't going to happen. I hope to make a triumphant return in 2010. Just like the monoliths.

Still up in the air about Readercon, which is only a couple of weeks away, so I really need to make up my frickin' mind. Unfortunately, it looks like today is the last day for registering at the hotel under the special rate, so that throws a possibly expensive spanner into the works.

Gah!

I think the nana bed might already be spoken for.

We can't do Necon either. Derek's hours have been cut since xmas and we're really feeling the crunch. Plus Dorian is going to two over priced dance camps this summer in preparation for over priced dance school in the fall...This is the third one I've missed in twenty years....

No Necon or Readercon here, either -- if forced to choose between a fun weekend drinking with friends, and a less-fun weekend putting myself in front of thousands of potential new readers? Dragon*Con has to get my money.

We should have Necon NYC, for those of us stuck at home.

Necon NYC would be awesome. We could go over the Dallas' apartment and drink all his booze.

This will be a terrible July. No Kaufmann. No new coffee pot for our room. No Thursday night dinner of questionable quality with good conversation.

I hate that I'm missing NECON this year. Fingers crossed for 2010.

I'm feeling exactly the same way. No Lee, no Necon traditions...It doesn't even feel like summer to me!

It's the summer of suck, following the spring of suck. Here's hoping for an autumn of far-less-suck.

I just got offered some quick-deadline work for July, so if I take it, I probably won't make Readercon either. Sigh.

Dallas isn't going?!? D=

Or are you just going to break into his place while he's gone?

I think Dallas will be there, actually.

Book the hotel room and then cancel it if you don't need it.
