CONVENTION!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Okay, so for the past two Memorial Day weekends, Fi and I have gone to Heartland Pagan Fest.  This year, however, the prices are insanely high (almost $200 for the weekend), and we've been distracted by the far-less-expensive alternative:  ConQuest, the local Sci-fi/fantasy/geekery convention. 

So, this year, there shall be no naked dancing around enormous bonfires while we drum and celebrate deep into the night.  However, there shall be Hobbits and Jedi and Trekkies - OH MY! 

The only question is... do any local or regional geeks want to join us?  You can still register for ConQuest at the door, and at $55 for the weekend, it's a fraction of the cost of Harry Potter conventions.  For those who can't afford the hotel, we have enough room for SOME people to stay at our house (at the discretion of [profile] fiona_fawkes  and me - NOT an open invite for the whole world, sorry).  Our house is just a couple of miles from the convention center.  There will be geekery and room parties and costumes and panels and more geekery.

Anyone interested?  I heard a rumor that at least ONE person (*pokes [livejournal.com profile] dramedy *) was interested, if she could find people to drive down with her from a nearby state.  Come on, people!  Who's feeling spontaneous and geeky?

We'll have to! Do you have my phone number or Fi's phone number? You'll have to let us know what room you're in, and we'll let you know what room we have. That way we can find each other. :D

Nope, I don't think I do. I'll be checking in to our main room later today, so I'll just email you the number.

That works! E-mail me at faisons@gmail.com. I'll also e-mail you back my phone number.

Hell, we can even try to see if we can get a room near yours. That would be cool. :D
