soooo looking forward to Capricon...

[tollermom]

We're fast coming up on time for Cap, which is one of my favorite cons for a whole lot of reasons.

I get to see lots of people who I know and like and don't see often enough.

billroper puts me to "work" in the Internet Cafe, where I get to feel useful and have fun all at the same time (running sound and recording).

I get to room with sweetmusic_27, who's one of the bestest roomies evar.

Wild Mercy gets to do the whooooooole Dream of a Far Light concert again. Only the second time we've ever performed the whole darn thing in one place (well, other than Barry and Sally's basement, but that hardly counts!).

I get an Internet Cafe set all of my very own (though I may draft afore-mentioned roomie, 'cause everything's better w/ fiddle!), which will force me to actually, oh, practice between now and the con.

I can take a dog if I want, 'cause all Starwood properties are dog-friendly. This year it might be Mr. Spotty Dog, since it's his birthday that weekend. (Hmmm... I need a Thunder icon, don't I?)

It's not only at a Starwood hotel (I collect Starwood points... it's the only hotel reward program in which I ever acquire useful quantities of points)... but this year it's moving from the Sheraton to the Westin. I'm a hotel snob... I admit it... and I loves me some Westin. (I may even get upgraded to a Junior Suite... still waiting to hear back from the reservations dude on whether they managed to swing that or if I waited too late to ask for the upgrade.)

Capricon feels like home to me... or like a good family reunion. And after a long winter of lack-of-cons (nothing since OVFF? That doesn't seem right, but I missed Windy, so I think it is...), it'll be really really nice to go hang w/ my musical family for a few days.

Who's gonna be there? Chime in!

Unless I feel too unwell/exhausted to go, Beka and I will both be there for at least a couple hours of Saturday, but will not be formally attending the con.

Whether she's on the inside or the outside is up to her, and still up in the air. :->

[tollermom]

Woohoo! I knew that would be pretty close to time for you, so I didn't know if you were going to try to drop by or not. I'll probably be in the Internet Cafe, and I'd love to see you (and Beka, if she's external by then :-)) so I'll make sure that the Internet Cafe folks know how to reach me if I'm not around!

My due date is the week before Cap. So we'll see. :->

I'll be there! This year is gonna be interesting since my 3 year old daughter will be with me. Usually I ship her off to my mother for the weekend. Little Miss Maddie will have a playmate. :-)

[tollermom]

Yay! It'll be good to see you, and I'm sure Miss Maddie will be thrilled to have a playmate. :-)

If you'll be there Thursday, I'll see you briefly.

Unfortunately, my chorus has concerts Saturday and Sunday evenings, with final rehearsal Friday night, and I work Friday during the day, so Thursday night is it for me (since it's really not worth the trip for 4-5 hours of Saturday afternoon, unfortunately).

[tollermom]

I have to work for at least part of the day on Friday, so unfortunately I won't be there on Thursday. I'm definitely planning for Duck (dammit, I'll make it to Duck this year come hell or high water!), so I'll see you there, yes?

I'll be there and filking. It will be wonderful to see you.

[tollermom]

Cool! It'll be good to see you again! (And I want a tiger calendar, if you've got any left!)

[tigertoy.livejournal.com]

I don't personally have any but there are plenty at the center, so if I can remember to get one, I can have one for you.

I may be later than I had planned because I just got summoned for jury duty, but that should not keep me from being there Friday night through Sunday.

I'm guessing the wonders of LJ tracking will mean you see this. I totally spaced on picking up a calendar for you. I suck.
