Portus, Terminus, or Both?

[mijan]

So, once again, there's moe than one HP convention in a summer. Normally, my reaction would be, "YAY! DOUBLE THE FUN!" However, there are a few reasons why doing two conventions might be a bit of overkill next summer. [Poll #1053028][Poll #1053028]

Yay for married! :D:D:D

And totally off-topic, mostly, but I saw that you plan on going to the Pagan festival and I thought I would comment to say that I've been looking into the Pagan/Wiccan lifestyle/ideals and finding that more and more I seem to relate to it, or at least many bits and pieces of it in an eclectic kind of way, and seeing as there aren't many RL people who I want to tell about that at the moment, I thought I'd mention it! I'd love to talk more about it with you and Fi at Wrockstock and hear some real life perspectives rather than, say, wikipedia's perspective.

Sounds like an action packed year! Just the way ya like it ;) It all looks very exciting! :D

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! *squishes you both*

I'd love to hear more about this Heartland Pagan Fest at Wrockstock. It sounds fascinating! AndI really hope you guys decide to go to Terminus. You would be sorely missed if you didn't.

I might go to Terminus. Who knows. Depends on cash.

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

I am planning on going to both but spending only two days and one night at each.

Can I say yay Canada and wedding?

And Lawrence, KS!! *Supernatural moment*

[acromantular.livejournal.com]

Yay Terminus! I have tickets.
*smiles happily*

Vanishingly-small-but-not-quite-zero chance of Portus. But probably not.

So I was totally set on going to Terminus, like, marshaling friends into going with me and everything. But I have just gotten a rec on an internship in Colorado, so I might be there for the summer. I might still go, but now I'm not so sure... :/ also, I hope to be in Scotland fall term, so I don't know when I'd leave for that.

Personally, I suggest you settle for one 'Con this year, in order to save money for Sectus 2009 ;)

So much congratulations on getting married, love. :) That's really awesome, and I'm really happy for you.

Also, obviously Canada is awesome and you should spend as much time as possible up here.

You have a dog and you're getting married... ohhh I'm dying of cute-attack over here! XD
Congrats!! I hope your year is wonderful no matter where you end up. (Sadly, I can't go to any conventions :~( )

There is a slim possibility that we will visit Chicago next summer. At some point, we want to visit the following places as a family:

Wrigley Field
Billy Goat Tavern
Field Museum of Natural History
Shedd Aquarium

The Amtrak Lakeshore Line runs from Boston through Buffalo to Chicago, so there is an option other than O'Hare. Whatever we can afford. (Since, well, we're both unemployed at present.)

The wrinkle is that we are renewing our vows at the end of August in Niagara Falls. We were handfasted nine years ago, without our families present. (It had been postponed due to our daughter's health.) The only way that I could attend Terminus is if we bumped our wedding up and honeymooned in Chicago.

If you two end up in the Niagara area next summer, we could meet up. The Falls are 20 mins. from us.

Also, what kind of dog do you have?

I'm just grinning ear to ear to read you're getting married... and goin' on tour!!! *ska-wish!!!*

[singingotter.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Wedding! That's wonderful.

[kawaiililme.livejournal.com]

Come to Massachusetts! Get married in Boston Commons so I can live vicariously through you!

Canada is actually more interesting probably, but still.

What's Heartland pagan fest? Another naked pagan hippy camp?

Yer gettin' itched? Yay!

MAWWIAGE *uses Peter Cook voice* is a...

...great idea! Come on down to beantown, where it's nice and legal!

[tsuj.livejournal.com]

OMGess - that was supposed to say 'hitched'!

But if getting "itched" means your itchies are being attended to, then it's sort of the same. Teehee. All good.

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

Not going to any conventions, but many congratulations on the getting married part, and if you're near Ottawa for the getting legal part then do let me know. I'll have a bottle of champagne chilled for you!

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the marriage!!! How very exciting!!!

And travels and moving and visitings! Big year!

So, um...did Steve VA do something, or is it just that he's been obnoxiously over-promoted and placed on a pedestal by HPEF? Just curious--he seems "adorkable" to me, and I saw him and Elanor hugging at the back of the slash town hall meeting at Prophecy, so it seems at least one slasher approves of him. ;p

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

Thanks for filling me in, dear. I had rather wondered. & I think it is great that you are not impressed by "celebrity"! Goddess knows too many people in this world are!
Best of luck with all the planning!!!
