I am seriously thinking about attending con.txt in DC in June. (multi-fandom slash convention) Is anyone else planning on going? Has anyone else ever attended? WILL YOU PROMISE TO BE MY BUDDY AND HOLD MY HAND WHILE I'M THERE? I've only ever gone to HP conventions, some big, and some small, and I once spent about an hour at a comic.con here in Winnipeg.

TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!

Also? There's a snake in my boot house.

Hubby and I can't quite decided on whose fault it is TOTALLY HIS FAULT but we now have a five foot long milk snake loose in the house somewhere. I have looked and looked, but there are multiple places to hide. It's not the first snake we've lost, and the other one turned up so .... yeah. At least my mom won't come to visit any time soon! :D

Funny story: We once had a very small King Snake (ha! I totes typed SNAPE!!) get loose in our store. It was missing for over a month, and I suppose it was getting hungry, so it slithered into one of our finch cages and ATE A FINCH, but was then so fat that it couldn't fit through the bars to get out. Hoisted by his own petard.

Facebook: I AM NOT ON FACEBOOK. I have enough time wasting media (read porn) to slog through every day, and don't really want to add another. But yet, I opened an account a few years ago, because a friend was worried about her son on there, yadda yadda, so anyway, I have an account, but NEVER go there. Just today I realized that I have a bunch of friend requests (from rl and fandom.) Please don't be insulted that i didn't accept/friend you back. I don't do it for anyone, because I'm not actually one there.

I've never been, but I think I might give it a try this year!

I went last time and have bought my ticket for this year. Hope to maybe see you there.

Oops, forgot to tell all about it: VERY FUN. Obviously the organizers include introverts because there are a lot of opportunities to hang out by yourself away from crowds. :) Panels are fun (kind of academic, which I adore; interesting opinions discussed in an organized way, AWESOME), vid show is fun. Dance party is fun: opportunity to dress in costume or dress up if that's your thing (a lot of ladies not afraid to put their breasts on display), or you can dress down and no one will sneer. It's mostly women, and the guys who attend know the women are running the show. For a middle-aged lady like me, it was a welcome experience to be in a room and not have it assumed that the man was going to lead.

Oh, cool, this all sounds most favorable. If I end up going, it'll be my first fannish con ever.
