Hey, Toad! This is Sarah Bylund--I came to TLE quite a few times. (Actually, if I remember right, I nearly poisoned you with some "allegedly" soy-laced fat free brownies. haha. Fun times...)

So you're coming to Worldcon? Cool. Looks like we'll have a lot of TLEers there.  :D

Toad, all of the info is in the first post on this thread.  Just read through that post, then go to the Worldcon site, and you'll have everything you need.  Carpools haven't been set yet, and while I have two rooms reserved, I think they'll fill up quickly, so I've suggested that others get rooms also.

I remenber you Shrain... Your right, fun times.  I did appreciate the attempt to give me free brownies though :)
Janci- Hi! I like the "Ms Fish" name.
Since it looks like there are two many guys for a single hotel room, I will either be booking a seperate hotel room and finding room mates, or hopefullyjust joining someone elses room and paying a quater of the cost.  (Having money is wonderfull I must say.  Its even better when its someone elses money.)  I just need to get in touch with said person so that I can get the information I need to be re-imbursed by my work for the fee's.  (I am a Man In Black For Steve Jackson games.)  In any case, would potental roommates please email me soon so that I can set things up.
Also, what is the plan on food?  Are  people buying in bulk, or catch as catch can?

I will be going this year, and I intend to reserve a room over the next couple of days. Here's the thing, though: my daughter's first day of school is Wednesday the 23rd, and I don't intend to miss it; I'll be leaving Wednesday night, and arriving in LA early morning the next day. I believe some people are planning to drive out Wednesday morning, but if you can't get away that early, or want to take one less day off work, or whatever, please let me know so we can all carpool together and save on gas and driving time.

I've always thought that it must be traumatizing to go to your first day of school by yourself.

Then again what isn't traumatizing now-a-days.

I wishfully plan to run a full psycho analysis on world con attendees before and after the con.

I'm not saying I'm going to go with her, just that I don't intend to be gone for a week by the time she gets home.

Hey guys.  I was just pointed this direction tonight at LTUE.  My name's Brian McClellan.  I happen to be another TLE-er and I'm in Brandon's class for the second year (I'm a short guy with an on and off goatee and glasses).  I'd love to go to Worldcon, and it would be great if someone could let me know what I have to do to jump on the band wagon with all of you.  Thank you much.
