Random Whovian tangent

[gement]

Edit: Hold the phone, this conflicts with a class that it took me forever to authorize through work. Argh. I will report back.

Edit again: At this point the cost-benefit analysis just keeps sinking. See next post. Sigh.

So despite not having updated since Thanksgiving (and I did have a lovely December and enjoyed Snowpocalypse immensely, thanks), I am now posting about the future instead.

I'm seriously considering going to Gallifrey One, the big ol' Doctor Who convention. It's in LA, Feb 13-15. I was actually planning on getting all this booked months ago, but having a look, I'm not actually too late yet. Costs look like:

3 days off work (Thursday through Monday)
Con registration: $65 per person
Plane fare from SEA: $192 per person
Hotel (2 nights): $200 to $280, split up to four ways.

(I'm currently proposing that two of my darlings join me in this madness. We'll see if they do.)

So, the chances I could split a hotel room with you if you wanted to go are slim, but existent, and you might want to go anyway, especially if you already knew your good friend Gement was going to be there. I am just bringing this to your attention before it is too late.

They got Ianto, and Colin Baker, and my favorite Dr. Who writer in the Universe, Paul Cornell. Also, the awesome rm who I know rather more about than those other people, and would really like to meet. (Yes, RM, it's your fault I'm seriously considering attending.) The panels and activities look fun.

Drop a line. Tell me if I might see you there.

Let me know if you are going.

I currently have two rooms (i.e., space for 8 people) booked for Thursday - Sunday nights, but only have five people going. I would happily transfer one of the rooms to you (you could drop the spare nights).

Right now the con-rate rooms are sold out -- regular rooms, which aren't that much more are still available, but if you decide to go, let me know since I have the spare space in my reservations.

Ack! That is not a fun conflict. Many sympathies. :(
I just saw RM's list of panels, and d00d! Why can't I find panels that cool at Norwescon?!
(Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but somehow I don't think so.)

If I didn't have family plans that weekend I'd be so out of here!

Before anyone jumps on me for this - yes, I've attended some pretty cool panels at Norwescon. :)
But d00d!

I'm not a big Dr. Who fan, but I'd be happy to buy you lunch while you're down here. You've been missed.

Thanks for the thought. (I did wonder if we might ping each other...) I'll give a holler if I come down that direction for some other reason, k?
