well i am sure i looked a few months back for a flight over there and it was half the price then.


I will ask my buddies at ComAir and Delta if it would be possible to get you a buddy pass...if you really want to go, I believe that way you just pay the taxes.  (not sure if it would work, I know they can fly FROM the US to anywhere Delta goes, but I don't know if it works the other way around.)

Gencon is next week.  Looking forward to 4 days of geekdom and sleep deprivation  :)

Hopefully some cool stuff show up at the auction!  The wife has given me approval to blow a load of moola if the right stuff presents itself. 8)

Think I have everything prepared, just putting some final touches on a rpg product list (which helps to know what I need). Looking forward to this.

I'll be at the con (for the first time since 1994).

I'm not the ubercollector most of you guys are, but I would love to be at the Friday meeting.

I will be working the Auction this year and hanging out there most of the time.

After all the help your group gave me in the Spring, I owe you all a big Thank You. To that end, I will be glad to sign stuff (if that is your desire) for members of this group whenever you can catch me in there.

(Guess that's more biting of lips for those who aren't turning up. Heck, I'd've been tempted to carry a suitcase to GenCon for the signings alone. *jk*)

Just got back from Disney World...spent way too much money.

Up in the air on whether I will make it. If I do, it will be Wed. night through Thursday. Wife wants to visit her sister this weekend and we will leave on Friday. I will confirm over the next couple days.

Have to see what work looks like on Monday for the week...


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
