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?

The Two Towers
So last week Darrell's friend Mike discovered on Wikipedia that Galesburg, North Dakota, a town near where Darrell and Darrin grew up and where they often hung out at the cafe, actually has the third tallest structure in the world. I find the photo on the wikipedia page rather amusing, by the way, due to its unusual dimensions. Upon discovering this, Mike, Darrell, and Darrin immediately drove out to pay the tower a visit.

So, I've finally got some form of high speed internet though it's probably the slowest high speed they make (512 k). I like it though. It is so much better than what we had before. Go »My weekend
Hmm well I hope this post is appearing in my blog, maybe I am a bit confused by the changes. I was worried we would have a bad weekend, because we had no DVDs from Netflix or the library, and our AC isn't working and it's been really hot. But finally the weekend was saved by the ultra quick arrival on Saturday of Sims 2 which I ordered Thursday... Go »The British know how to make TV
Correction to my earlier post - we have now seen almost to the end of season 2 of QAF (Darrell decided to watch it after all) and it seems only season 1 is really amazing. Perhaps it gets better again later, I don't know. Is it any coincidence that season 1 is the one copied almost directly from the British version? Go »Back in Fargo
I have arrived home after a safe and uneventful flight. Thanks for the memories! It was fun. 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.
