no Windycon for me this year...

[tollermom]

I keep contemplating my checking account and contemplating Windycon and I've been forced to the realization that it's just not gonna happen this year. *sigh*

I am currently planning to make all three Chicago cons in 2010, starting w/ Capricon in February, so I'll see a bunch of y'all there!

I'll miss you! Of course, I'm doing Windy on the cheap.

[tollermom]

I've got roommates who are willing to watch the dogs, which is the only reason I even considered it, but I just spent too much money on OVFF and I really can't afford gas and hotel again this soon. :-/

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

Gas from here isn't much, thank goodness! And if I didn't have friends willing to let me crash in their room, I could stay with my sister or Aunt in Chicago. So the biggest expense is the membership, and I'm doing panels, so I'll get that back. Eventually. And if I'm lucky, I'll sell stuff in the art show and be able to pay for gas out of that, and maybe even part of the room. So it's not all play, but at least I get to go.

Bummer

[tollermom]

Indeed.

I'll see you at Cap, though, right?

We aren't going either. Maybe see you Thanksgiving weekend?

[tollermom]

Yep, definitely Thanksgiving. I'm threatening to make Chocolate Pastry Cake. Yum.

Sorry to miss you. I arguably shouldn't go myself, but I'd go nuts if I didn't. Could there maybe be a filk in December?

[tollermom]

December's gonna be crazytime for me, I think. I'm just going to focus on working up some new stuff so I have something to do at Cap that hasn't been done to death.

*sigh* We'll miss seeing you!

[tollermom]

I'll miss seeing y'all too... and I owe you a phone call to find out about your new recording toy. :-) (I've spent the weekend vegetating in the basement, which gets _no_ cell phone reception. Periodically I walk outside and the phone chirps at me that I've missed calls. Oops!)

I know the feeling. As I think I've said in my LJ, cons have become a luxury that I can no longer afford.

Bleah...we'll miss you.
