April 22-24: Penguicon in Novi, Michigan, rooming withjeffreyab.
June 9th & 10th: ride the Cabot Trail (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) withelizilla. We discussed this at the con, but I didn't write anything down... I think the plans we came up with were: meet at the southern of the Maine-Nova Scotia ferries evening of Wednesday, June 8th. It crosses overnight, ride in Nova Scotia Thursday, Friday, get to ferry back to mainland on Saturday. Overnight on mainland Saturday, and head home-wards on Sunday. Sound right? ladysprite, are you likely to be around home June 7-8th, and have crash space? If so, I'd love to come down to Boston on Tuesday, and visit you before starting this trip.
June 24-26th: Apollocon in Houston, Texas. Current thought is to head to Texas by going south (through some interesting riding), then east, hopefully arriving in Dallas for Wednesday June 22nd, to visit Thomas and Stacey, then on to Austin on Thursday to visit another friend, and finally to Houston for Friday and the convention. For Sunday, will see how the day goes, either head out not-too-late, or see ifkgkofmel can put me up for Sunday night, and get an early start on Monday. Figure I'll go north, then east, as I need to be back reasonably quickly, not wanting to arrive in Ottawa later than evening of Wednesday (June 29th), so that I have Thursday the 30th to get ready for...
July 1-3 (or maybe 4): annual cottage party, held at my parents cottage, in the Gatineau hills, north of Ottawa.
August: Bachanal somewhere in South-East Michigan. Few details are currently available. :)
October 7-9 Conclave in Lansing, Michigan, rooming withjeffreyab.
I'd like to make it to a Chicago convention this year, choices seem to be: Capricon February 10-13, Duckon May 6-8, or Windycon November 11-13. Capricon looks a bit too short term for planning, and both April and June already have a lot of travel making Duckon a bit iffy looking, so it might just be Windycon.
I'm thinking about Marcon May 27-29 as well, but as I said about Duckon, I may not want to travel much in May, given how busy April & June are looking.
And, I'd like to get up to Montreal a couple times to visit friends there, as well.
Tomorrow, I request lots of vacation days...

Date: 2005-01-25 09:17 am (UTC)You see, I always recommend to people who are new to conventions, or new to an area, that volunteering is a great way to meet people at the convention. So... I should follow my own advice, right? I'm new to Apollocon, and new to the area, so I should volunteer.
So, which department do you think needs me?

I've never worked reg before, that could be fun.

But we have no budget, staff or space for a real dance this year.
