I plan on coming, but as it stands I will only be able to arrive around the begining of Gen Con itself. I am able to stay after it, but not likely to arrive before it. Meri, Kain and K and I will be renting rooms at the Mariott so we don't need housing or what not.

I vote "maybe," as a lot depends on college stuff that I simply can't know until later. Would I like to? Fuck yes.

A little later down the line you should put up a poll asking for people who are sure that they're coming. This poll is a little...empty.

I'd imagine that will happen, yes. We'll probably also set up the same deal as last year, where those who can commit to definitely being there will join a mailing list for serious planning action and financial commitment.

Right now it's at 20 which is approximately what I imagine it will be in the end, though I do expect it to be higher before we get a final tally: expecting probably 35-40 to say they are interested in going, but actually 20-25 to actually go in the end due to RL complications. It's still early in the game...

going. i want to go, it's been two years, i'm going. hell, this way Caz can bug me to get drawings done in person. so fuck work, fuck cashflow, fuck eventualities. if i have to, i'll hitch my way to the Gathering and eat tunafish and beans while i'm there.

however, in case of such an eventuality actually occuring, you might want to make sure the bathroom has one of those little fan dohickies. i mean, tunafish and beans...

I will be there. I'm employed and slowly working my way back to my feet financial. Additionally, once hard dates are nailed down, I'll have the vacation time approved. It's already approved that I'll be taking my vacation in mid-August.

It was a decision made a couple of years ago, back when WotC was still running GenCon and the sale to Peter Adkinson & co hadn't even been mooted. Moving it up threatened Origins, among other reasons, and IIRC there were some issues with Indy, since this is their first year in the new city.

I can not confirm nor deny attendance as so much of my current life is dependant on an insurance company. However, with that being said there is a good possability that I may just go regardless and fuck the consequences.

Well...for me it all depends on where it's being held. If it's being held in Indianapolis (the way it sounds like right now), I'm definately going, since I'm going to GenCon. Once there's a more definate idea as to where it's being held, I'll make my final decision then. :)

Well I have the following weeks for vacation so far: July 14th thru July 27th. So it looks real likely I am coming, UNLESS...I go to third shift. IF so i lose my vacation time. Which means I am still coming but only maybe for four or five days.

It looks as if I'm not going to be coming. My sister K is likely not coming. She was to be my companion while Paul does his thing. In light of this I think I'll stay home and hit the beach.

Wha?
There is then a need to guard against a temptation to overstate the economic evils of our own age, and to ignore the existence of similar, or worse, evils in earlier ages. Even though some exaggeration may, for the time, stimulate others, as well as ourselves, to a more intense resolve that the present evils should no longer exist, but it is not less wrong and generally it is much more foolish to palter with truth for good than for a selfish cause. The pessimistic descriptions of our own age, combined with the romantic exaggeration of the happiness of past ages must tend to setting aside the methods of progress, the work of which, if slow, is yet solid, and lead to the hasty adoption of others of greater promise, but which resemble the potent medicines of a charlatan, and while quickly effecting a little good sow the seeds of widespread and lasting decay. This impatient insincerity is an evil only less great than the moral torpor which can endure, that we with our modern resources and knowledge should look contentedly at the continued destruction of all that is worth having. There is an evil and an extreme impatience as well as an extreme patience with social ills.

The K in the above quote refers to my sister Kristin. Or "K". And yes she is my sister.

No worries there Deev. I have friends in the Porn industry within Indianapolis already, and the men I'm used to being around already have my attention.

Now if you'd like, I'm sure Mark wouldn't mind you doing some "tease modeling" for his company... :eek Hell, he'd probably pay you a couple tens for it. Maybe more, you are a Euro-kinda guy.

Besides, I don't recall ever trying, or truly wanting to try, to see you in a "Gay Porn".

And btw, *I* am the "K" that Deev may be referring to.

This of course coming from someone who kept begging me to move out of the way of the webcam just to look at Liniah while she was using Mike's computer sitting behind me (over my right shoulder IIRC).

All I remember is something stupid about the distance you could stretch your legs in a picture that I honestly could've cared less whether or not I got to see (you, reading/looking at a book with two chairs, one per leg). And then when we called and talked with you, Liniah was babbling all sorts of Lin stuff (which is fine, it's normal, it's her ;) )... but I didn't honestly care. Did I say you were cute? Yeah, probably... but that's a generic term for me (shrug). Did I possibly razz you about not being braver in your pics? Perhaps so, but again ... yeah? And?

Yes, I very clearly remember. :cool

Yeah there was that day...and then there was your little drunken eppisode at gencon as well...it's unfortunate that I can't recall any of the exact conversations, though.

By the way, unless the whole 'school in Denmark' thing falls though, I will not be attending.

Ah yes, the showing up after wandering various clubs with Marvin on the other side of the river and then winding up at the bar on main floor of the Hilton.

Yeah... that one too.

What's really sad, is that I haven't changed or updated it since I was last here in April. I should probably change it to something like "Beyond the Panic" given the current state of things. Enough clients to force us into 14 hour shifts and Jon's (partners) health being collapsing after the kidney failure.

But anywhos.... yeah, a "No Liniah, No Veed" when things might be coming to someplace so close to home would suck.
