Creation Con - Chicago
I'm thinking of saying f*ck it at work and go to Creation Con... I shouldn't because it's like our busiest time of the year at work, but... well, it's the last chance I have to ever go!
The good tickets are gone, of course, so there's General Admissions for all 3 days and then 'Preferred Seating' for each day individually...
A) I know a couple folk on my flist are already going. Do I get the 3 Preferred Seating tickets (one for each day) or just deal with 3 days of General Admission
B) I know folk stay 'across the street' at another hotel; where does everyone stay? I don't need a roomie, just a rec... (I may need to take the hubby, who doesn't quite 'get' fandom but wants to be supportive... and I'm all "just let me go by myself because I know people already and you don't" but I have play nice...)
So? Anyone? Buehler? ::grin::

I used to do their Xena Cons... Ahhhh to hang out with a hotel of your fellow "Hard Core Nut Balls" for a weekend!
If you go, I hope you have a BLAST!!! Do the preferred seats come with Autographs? If so, I would go for those. It seems silly, but a weekend of knowing you have somewhere to sit is freaking priceless in my book.
I'll be looking for your Con Reports if you go. :)
And I have some friends that I know would be going, so there would be a guaranteed blast to be had...
It's just the timing is sucky at work -- August is our busiest month and taking even 4 days off then is the problem...
Have to talk to the boss and see what she thinks!
I'm envious, I really am. I want to be there myself, but yeah, not an option unless a miracle happens... :-)
It's just a bad time to be off work, guess I have to man up and talk to the boss and see what she thinks... then, talk to the hubby to see what he thinks...
I can't tell you about general admission versus preferred since we have Gold tickets; Whatever gets you the best seats is what I'd do.
I'm thinking I'd have to fly back Sunday night, to be to work on Monday. I have to look at the flight options to see how late I can stay and if it makes sense...
Sigh... I really, really want to go...
EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!
I have to be at work on the Monday, so I got about the latest flight out on Sunday so I'm not totally wiped out on Monday. So I have a 7:30 flight that gets to Buffalo about 11 pm (drat losing that hour!)... But I'm coming in on Thursday at lunchtime so I have the extra night on the front end...
WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
I know folk who would be there, so that would also make it awesome... seeing other fen *and* the actors would make for a huge memory!
I'll do con reports if I do go!
