No, unfortunately last minute flights to Atlanta on Easter weekend started at $520.00. And I just couldn't stomach riding the greyhound for 10 hours there, spending 24 hours and then another ten hours back. Ugh! My family understood.

Man, the Star Trek guest list is really growing, they added Worf (MIchael Dorn) today. I wish they would add some SW guests. Ugh! Didn't we run into this problem last year? Ah well the rest of the guest list is slowly shaping up.

They need more Lord of the Rings people! They're snubbing an entire dorkdom community! I guess Sean Astin will have to do. tongue Where's Craig Parker?!

Well I purchased our tickets. We are now committed to going. Woohoo. Today (or is it tomorrow?) is the last day to purchase tickets at $65. If anyone else is going, now is the time to get the ticket before the next price increase.

I got an email the other day that said flight prices went back down. Don't know if they're still down, though...

You can sign up to receive emails from Orbitz or Farecompare or whatever to let you know when you should jump on them.

One of my friends was going to drive, but she recently wrecked her car and I didn't have the heart yet to ask her what she planned to do. Ugh! I guess I better look into plane tickets and then call her too. Ugh!

Wow, you know some times I think elements of Dragoncon are a huge cluster****, but after reading about FedCom USA, in Dalas this past weekend, I have a new perspective. They cancelled the con, after it had already started, leaving many upset folks.

Woo! I finally got a job!

Depending on how things go with that, I may be able to come this year!

Assuming I do come, I'll most likely be driving and be heading through St Louis if anyone will want a ride and doesn't mind backseat (since assumedly my girlfriend would come too).

Ummmm...are the 2008 memberships sold out? They aren't listed in the store, but it does say something about using ticketmaster or paypall or something. And I noticed that people were selling them to each other on their livejournal.

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you, but I get the feeling that you don't like it.
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies. Maybe you don't like monsters so much....

Pfft...Adam Baldwin and Jamie Bamber cancelled. Baldwin cancelled at the last minute last year too, so big shocker there.
