I’m sorry to folks out there who really aren’t interested in dragoncon but my mind has officially kicked over into that mode, so expect to hear pretty much nothing else for the next 3 months (before & after LOL)
We finally bought our tickets today. We say EVERY YEAR that we’re going to buy our tickets for next year at the previous year’s con. (ie, at the convention last year we meant to go ahead and buy our tickets for this year.) It’s SO much cheaper to that – especially when we’ve got to buy for 2. We just spent $180 when if we’d done it last year it would have been under $100 for us both.
I only remembered to do that one year – back in 2004.
So we’re making sure to do it this year. I’m building it into the budget and it’s going to happen this time!
I understand that folks gotta do what they gotta do to afford to go to the con/find a room – but I think it would be a little weird to share your room with someone you don’t really know. I have the dragoncon hotel room comm on my lj friends list and see people asking for roomshares all the time, and they seem totally nice and sometimes I think, I wish I could help them! But it would just be so weird. I like to have my space and my chill time. I don’t mind sharing with my friends, but I love just having a room with Chase so i can just lay my 15 costumes out over every surface and fall asleep whenever I want and eat chick-fil-a in my pajamas in the middle of the day without worrying about anyone but my husband LOL… and not worrying about anyone else’s schedule. I think I just need that calm space and being able to chill without worrying about anyone, you know?
Anyway, just thoughts. I’ll post costume progress stuff later.
