seekingferretWorldcon's in two weeks! I'm excited.
I bought my attending membership last September. My sister got engaged in November and set her wedding date for Worldcon Sunday (the nerve!), so I had to rethink my plans a little, but I decided I still wanted to go to the con because of a few reasons. First, because I have friends in Seattle I almost never see, and this gives me an excuse to visit them before the Con. Second, because I'm not planning to attend MidAmeriCon next year, and I didn't want to miss two Worldcons in a row. Third, because even an abbreviated Worldcon is going to be full of awesome stuff.
So I fly into Seattle Sunday before the con. I'm going to a Seattle Sounders game, then wandering around downtown seeing touristy things like the Space Needle, then meeting friends for dinner. Then Monday I'm doing more time intensive touristy stuff, probably the Underground Tour, probably EMP and a few more museums, probably some stuff on the water, then meeting friends again for dinner. Tuesday I'm renting a car and driving to Spokane, probably stopping along the way for a hiking adventure of some sort.
Wednesday I'm at the con. I've volunteered to help man the audio theater program for some time in the afternoon, the remainder of my time will be seeing awesome programming stuff and meeting people. Thursday morning I'll do Stroll with the Stars, then the Preliminary Business Meeting, then a couple panels, then more audio theater volunteering, then hanging out and Worldcon parties.
Friday morning I fly home. Wedding's on Sunday. Sheva brachos on Monday. More sheva brachos on Tuesday. More sheva brachos on Wednesday... #BlueFringe #sorrynotsorry
I'll have to watch the Hugos on livestream. I'm frustrated to miss as much of the con as I am, but I'm planning to enjoy as much as I can while I'm there.
