Kat Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Bored/emo at work. Why can't they have Worldcon once a month, ffs?

Lucky Pierre Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Should be there. And the Party Train idea from NYC to Montreal is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The X's will be there. :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsherds Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's in Canadia, and Neil Gaiman is GoH. Of course I'm going. When in August is this one scheduled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I plan on making this my first Worldcon. It's so close, that it's practically inexcusable to not go.

Starkess Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Although I am hesitant to agree to go to Canada (I've been doing such a good job of avoiding the place!), it would be totally cool to go. Don't know what sort of leave I'll be looking at then though. My best friend is getting married around then and I have to take leave for that, so maybe maybe not.

Werthead Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Whether I go or not is totally dependent on what my new job is and how much it pays, so hopefully I should know in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the 3 hours sleep I get before NY will be enough :lol: I did check the current Amtrack Prices and it's $62 each way, and the only train I saw departing was at 8:00am, so if you fly to ny, that needs to be taken into account.

Mo Sneachd Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I WANT TO GO. Sadly, I fear reality will try its best to interfere. But I'll try my very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to sell my house, get a new job, move to a new state, hopefully have time off from said new job, and finalize my divorce, all next summer. It will be a very busy time for me, but I am hoping to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashiara Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 We want to go as well but we don't know if it will be possible. Way too early to tell. If we do though, we're totally loving the Party Train idea. Flying to NY would be a lot cheaper than flying to Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Dracarys Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'll be there barring any unforseen circumstances. Already starting to plan it out a bit early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
