Wow, 5 to 3 days before you're legal...what luck. Hey, since you mentioned a hotel room, does that mean you are going to do the "whole" Con experience again? Like you were done with? Heeee. Well, my first Con was when I was 13 so at least you're old enough to "pass" at Chicago Con, and possibly at EyeCon, too. Purple nurples sound awesome. No alcohol taste for faster inebriation is ALL good. But yikes, I don't want to get too stupid giggly with actual SPN stars around, not just other fen!
Not that I'm saying I wanted alcohol back then *g*, just that it wouldn't have been an option. Then at 17 I had my first encounter with Slashfic at another Con, which was mildly traumatizing at the time...(my two guys are doing wot??), and I would have thought it to be worse with SPN...but it just... isn't. But I'm not alone. I read plotty, angsty POV stuff anyway, and the intensity and love (and angst and f-d-up-ness) of of the Winchesters' relationships reads remarkably similarly if one takes out the NC17 scenes in either slash or het fic...IMO. (Meaning, I'm waiting for your hetfic post, dude. No pressure now.) But I digress.
EEE AWESOME!! What kind of seats did you score?
I don't know for sure yet! I've got to email and find out. It's in the Platinum C, which I hear was 2 rows full, so...possibly 5th row? I hope I'm not right in the middle of the row. Don't want to be tripping over people with my cane, or at least, hopefully, I don't have to have my legs with my knees squished up to my chest. What am I saying? JP's going to be there...and the Roadhouse Crew! Bring on the pain! :P It'll be worth it. EEEEEEE. I'll bring my dancing shoes for the parties.
What are you doing as far as extras - cocktail parties, etc?
I DID it! I booked my hotel room this morning. Optimistically, like WinCon again, I booked it saying it's for 4 parties, but I don't have any roomies yet. I'm going right now (assuming the flight to-be coincides) to be staying overnight the night before 4/3- checking out on 4/7.
*shrug*
Well the roomie thing worked out last time, hopefully will again this time, cause even with the Con rates that's going to be a big $ pinch if I'm all by myself...fewer funds for photo ops, you know?
Speaking of pics, I can see yours now that I'm...not at my home PC. I got to find out why that is, and fix it STAT. It's never been a problem before. Grrrrr.
I have my vids now on my hard drive, and hopefully (have to check) they will go into a format that others can see (not just my camera's). I'll get back to you on that if I can't figure out how to convert it. And we MUST e.m. I need your secret of vidding sekritly taking good pics at a Con. I'm at phoukahalfchild at yahoo dot com.
I can't wait for April now. And YES 60 degrees is COLD. I get cold at 70 degrees, despite being born and raised in CA. *g*
