Must find a way to predispose Mrs Serack towards spending time in Baltimore in November...

Anyone know how crazy this will be? Debating going to either this or Dragoncon, since they are roughly equidistant to Raleigh. But Dragoncon was just waaaaay too crowded for me. I'm wondering if this would be the same.

Hmm, this might work for me, then. Plus Nov 9 is my bday, so it'd be a perfect time to get away. If we can figure out childcare. :)

Hmm, the exhibits pass is only $45.  That's not soooo bad.  I though that was only the dealership room, but it looks like it only leaves out two masquerades (which I wouldn't go to anyway), and "special events."  Wonder what those are...

Where would you be coming from, Serack? Maybe we could carpool to save expenses? Might help predispose our significant others.  ;)

Got hotel room using priceline, name your own price, for $60! Asked for 3 stars in the hunt valley, md area, which should only get you the residence inn. Not so pricey now! Sold parents on childcare with the whole "40th birthday" thing, and we are good to go!

I suspect a Jim Butcher Q&A would qualify as a "special event" these cons also tend to have "panels" where various authors or other subject matter experts discuss things.  At this event I suspect they would have a panel named something like, "Faries in urban fantasy."

The Hampton Roads area is a little out of the way from the Raleigh area, but if we could coordinate well, we might meet up in Richmond and travel on together from there. 

Mrs Serack seems kinda game, but she would want to take Lil Serack to an indoor water park or something, and we can't find one in the area.  Anyone know of any other stuff that a mommy can take a *counts on his fingers* 21 month old to in the Baltimore area?

I saw there was a zoo nearby and an aquarium.  We were debating bringing the kids, but 4 is a bit harder than 1!

The ad for the convention hotel mentions some more fun things.

Or here's some other ideas:

Bill and I might swing by DC too and do the tourist thing.

We went on a mini vacation last week in DC, and went on a quick jaunt on the second night up to Baltimore to visit with one of her HS friends that moved up to that area. 

The friend and her BF expect to be living in a bigger place in November and she wanted us to come up and stay, so it might be a possibility that I can make it.

Anyone know when the schedules for these cons are posted?  I don't want to buy tickets for all days if Jim is only going to be there for one of them.

Thanks!
