I'm leaving tomorrow night for Dragoncon. (Squee!) They're going to have lots of Harry Potter stuff, and the Cruxshadows are playing .... I'm very excited. Anyone else going to be there who might want to meet up at some point? :)

I realized I never posted anything publicly about Vulkon Oakland. So I'll just say that Common Rotation is awesome (everyone should check them out), the Trio is so entertaining, Alexis Denisof is articulate and beautiful and adorable, Vulkon is EVIL and I will never attend another of their cons, and the best part was seeing people and hanging out with my friends. And, y'know, I strongly encourage y'all not to give money to Vulkon, ever. But do buy lots of Common Ro CDs!

So I feel bad about leaving again, because my cats will be lonely ... but it's only for four days, and my roommate is taking care of them. And I'll spend LOTS of time with them when I get back. I can tell they're being clingy, though--Angel spent last night sleeping pretty much on my face. (She was soooo cute, so I let her, even though I've been sneezing all day because of it.)

Well, anyway, must go squeeze a bit more work in before I head off to another con.

Go look at the schedule at dragoncon.org; it looks really interesting.

Holy cow, you're going to another one? You're a glutton for...something. Celebrity! Lights! Camera! Action! Who's going to be at this one, again? Will my drunken reformed boyfriend Nick be there?

Okay, enough with the bad-taste Nick comments. I can't believe you keep making those. They're just awful. Stop it right now.

Ahem.

Yeah, I know, I'm a great big con whore. They're just so fun!

This one is pretty much the polar opposite of last week's. I was working my ass off at the last one; this is going to be a low-key, I'm just a guest enjoying the con kind of thing.

This is all about panels: 30-something tracks, all with simultaneous nearly-24-hour programming. So you pick and choose what you want to do.... there's a Buffy track, Star Wars, Star Trek, Young Adult Literature (Harry Potter!), Goth track (members of the Cruxshadows will be participating in that one!), Writing, Science, Computers/Technology, Tolkien, blah blah blah. Pretty much everything you can think of that's in some way related to sci-fi. Plus this huuuge masquerade, amazing costumes, concerts and contests and performances and parties all night long. They have something like 20,000+ people attending.

Not really many Buffy guests this time around (alas, no Nicky). I think the only ones are Julie Benz (Darla), Nathan Fillion (Caleb), and the guy who played gay Larry. BUT, anniesj might be there! And since I'm over the whole Buffy thing anyway, I'm really looking forward to the Harry Potter stuff. And to getting drunk and hanging out and making up for the depressing melodramatic crap that was much of last weekend's con.

And Nicky ... once again, I apologize for the lack of fascinating dirt. He, uh, looked fine, and seemed in shape, and his wife was really sweet, and his brother was nice .... I'm sorry! ;)

I am so very jealous, but I am exhausted and so far behind in everything, and just got my cats today...there was no way I could be gone another weekend, particularly since the lawn needs mowing and the greenhouse is dying and beans have to be picked.

But, dayum, I'm jealous.

So, uh, perhaps we should talk before tomorrow night, yeah???

;oD

What evil stuff did Vulkon do? *curious* I never managed to sell my ticket :( so I'm hoping they might at least credit me towards a future con or something...sigh.
