So close, and yet so far away. ...I'm only a 5 hour drive away, barring traffic!

Texas is entirely too large. Ah, geography, my old archnemesis.

Jan 20th is the last day to get the ConDFW room rate of 92 bucks a night for that kickass suite!

"What do Panelists do?"

Just realized this never got answered. Technically, Jim is a panelist on steroids. A panelist is just a guest of a con who has something to talk about on panels. Special Guests are BIG TIME PANELISTS, basically.

I think this is the one thing that I regret the most about not getting that job in Dallas. I can't go to the con now. :/ Oh well, maybe next time.

They have a Best Western a block or two away for $45 a night on Hotels.com. It's not as nice as the Crown but beats sleeping in a car.

I'm counting down the days! Most of my time (at least while the sun is up) will be spent behind a dealer table with my husband. We're the ones with the colorful chain maille shtuff. So...who all is going? I'm told they've had RECORD pre-reg for this con so there must be a good number of us going to be there, right?

We need to have a jim-butcher.com party saturday night guys. seriously.

As long as we still attend the FenCon party.  (which is probably where I'll be...passing out flyers...)

Is the Fenconparty going to be in someone's room again? Because last time, the room overfloweth. The rooms here are twice as big, but the con is 823times as big.

I think it will be, but it may be a bigger room this time.  To be honest, this'll be the first room party I've helped out with, so I'm pretty much just going with the flow.

I'll have to look into that.
