Our first Con?
by Denise Sawicki on July 10, 2009
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?

Office Party
Last weekend we went to an office party at my boss's lake house. We took Philip and he got along famously with my boss's dog, Willow, who is half greyhound and half husky. I like Willow quite a bit. Go »Hello
So... I know I've been mostly absent... I saw Amy's comment in RB and I just want to assure her that it is not her fault I quit RB :P. Go »More news
So the second crest didn't exactly happen. The first crest was 40.8 (already an all-time record) and originally they said there was a 75% chance the second one would be over 41. Go »Flood
So... not sure exactly why I live in this ridiculous state of North Dakota. I can tell myself that we're better off than California much of the time but who's to say? Go »Frustrated
I just get so frustrated. I want my husband to be happy but the things he's decided will make him happy are completely out of our control (success at music). I wish something good would happen for him finally. Go »

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.
