Darrell and I are thinking of going to this: http://www.valleycon.com/. We have never been to such an event before, and it is kind of expensive, but:

A. Londo is one of our favorite TV characters ever
B. It's not like we ever spend money on anything fun really
C. This person says "this is the only con I have been to where you can actually hang out with the guests and have a couple of drinks," which sounds promising
D. We actually have a figurine of Londo
E. It's something we should maybe experience once!
F. We might be able to look geeky enough by reusing our Prisoner outfits

Anyone have any words of wisdom on what to expect?

I definitely recommend it. Cons can be pricey, especially if you start buying any of the many products for sale, but they're a lot of fun too. Panels are good; trivia games are really good; people-watching with all those costumes is the best.

Lost Things

Darrin's sheet and pillowcase disappeared some time back, and I just discovered my nice black pants are missing. I almost always wear jeans so I have no idea how long they have been gone. We searched thoroughly for these items and the only theory we can come up with is that Darrin's ex-girlfriend took them. Go »

stupid water

I guess I'm just not cut out for dealing with anything the slightest bit stressful. Well, I already knew that. So we had our all-time record flood and it has dropped almost 6 feet since then but now they are saying there is going to be a second crest of the river even higher than the first sometime in April.

TV crushes

I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification. Go »

Jesus songs

I wonder what it is with me liking all these songs that mention Jesus. I'm a total atheist :P Actually I think it might be easier for me to like these songs that it would be for anyone who's religious and might have a troubled background with religion. I guess the name has less significance for me. Go »
