Yeah, what is this with me always living in a con city? Yay! People come visit me!
When is Cascadia Con? Oh, just googled it--Labor Day weekend again. Yup, I'll definitely be living in the area by then. I will know by next week (meaning after the 7th) or the week after where I'll be living. At this point it's a tossup between Seattle and Bellevue. I'm leaning toward Seattle, but won't really know till I get there. Sounds like there might be some nice places with openings. I'm going to be looking for either a place with just one roommate or a one-bedroom (I'm even looking at a cheap 2-bedroom in Renton, near work, but I doubt it'd work on a number of other levels, mainly location for church/social life).
Anyway, that means that either way, I'll have at least a bit of space for people to crash on the living room floor or couch (and fewer roommates to worry about), and may be close or may be within a 20-minute drive. I'll know within a few weeks and will let you know, location-wise. Either way, as usual, people are welcome to stay. I know EUOL prefers hotels, but anyone else who's looking to save some money is welcome. Also, I'll invite everyone now to a dinner/movie/hangout at my place on a night to be determined.
I'm wondering what kind of presence Wizards will have at this. I'm thinking I could probably go to represent Wizards. Or at least, I have a feeling that if I asked, they'd let me be a part of the contingent, because they basically feel that if you want to do something, go for it. Either way, I've missed the cheapo deadline, so I think I'll wait and see what kind of involvement I might be able to have through work.
