Woe, woe, and thrice woe!

I'm so wildly jealous of the people going to Peg3 this weekend, I might cry.

I haven't been to a con since the BSG one, and that was AGES ago! :'(

I don't like being constantly in the company of normal people. It makes me feel horribly inadequate. Oh, my geeky TV-loving sci-fi freak friends! Why am I not with you this weekend? Why!!

But you have all us whackos in LJ land to keep you company. ;-) So you're never really alone with the normal folk.

This is true :)

I would very much love to be hanging out with fellow geeks, too! Is there another good one coming up? I have money now and stuff, and would love a Geek Party. *g*

[maryavatar.livejournal.com]

Yes, geek party! Just give me a couple of months to get over the huge chewy mortgage down payment.

Hmm, I reckon by August I'll be in full Galactica love mode again. It doesn't really matter to me though, what matters is that we're all there! Does any one in particular take your fancy?

[emony.livejournal.com]

I would, one day, like to go to Connotations, but October is so far away, I don't think I can wait that long this year ;) So anything, really, works for me. G3 was a really good con - very small, very intimate, the guests were awesome etc. So I think G4 would be really fantastic too. But, that said, Serenity Complete would give me a chance to get the last two signatures on my Firefly DVDs. Although that one is also just before my big Cancer seminar at work, whereas August is totally clear. So yeah, anything's good for me, but G4 would certainly work.

Well, Serenity has both Firefly and BSG guests... but G3 was a great con - very small indeed! I think we definitely ought to think about one of those two. And again, I would love to go to Connotations this year too.

[emony.livejournal.com]

August gives us more time to organise, but it's also ages to wait. Hm. I suppose doing Serenity, G4 and Connotations all in one year would be a bit excessive ... ;)

[emony.livejournal.com]

I've made a list (http://emony.livejournal.com/852569.html?thread=4561753#t4561753). What do you think?

[maryavatar.livejournal.com]

You know what torture is? Torture is working with people who A. don't own a computer, B. only read non-fiction, and C. watch reality TV. I need a sci-fi con weekend so badly, but moving house, two mortgages... *sigh*

Maybe next time?

[emony.livejournal.com]

God, that's horrendous. You poor thing :(

We'll find one soon, for sure :)
