I can stay at my sisters again and take the train in, or if someone does not mind my crashin at thier hotel for a night I could toss some money thier way.

(I still have not gotten my Tix in the mail has anyone else?)
I think we're renting a townhouse. So we should probably have a couch?

We can probably find a spot yeah, but I think the couch is going to be mine or Andrew's bed. We'll have to check that.

Wait so you guys *Are* renting a townhouse? I thought the last conversation you all had ended with doing the hotel thing again.

Ach whateves you decide is cool.

And Sand, I haven't gotten my tix in the mail yet either. I expect they will be mailed out some time within the next 2 weeks (hopefully). If not, were boned.

I'll post this here as well as on the FB page but have we decided when exactly we'll all meet up? Some people will be arriving early and some will be leaving late. I wanted to know when the earliest arrivals would be for those who wanted to hang out and when the latest depatures would be for those who wanted to hang out so I could request those days off.

I realize the Con is still 3 weeks away and its a bit early to be hounding people about their schedules, but I am asking because I need to request days off about 2 weeks or so in advance.

Let us know.

I arrive Wednesday evening, maybe 8? We could do a late dinner? I leave Monday evening.

We rented out a duplex bed and breakfast.

No, I think the rules somewhere specify we can't have guests for longer than 2 hours or so. You all have those as well, so if someone can check if I'm right about that?

Not gonna happen if the fine print does say what I think it did. Sorry, but on that I'm quite firm.

It's a bed and breakfast, actually.

Stocky with the renting from an owner, you with the fine print, sticks, sticks in asses I say!

The fact we could not have a guest there for more than 2 hours is ridiculous. What if we wanted to have dinner with a friend there? Like we could possibly want to do.

Also, the only thing I saw was no more than 2 guests at a time, which is fine, and that I understand. Nothing about time limit, which would be all kinds of sketchy.

I guess this means I should expect my tickets today also.

And thank you for listing your arrivals. I'm probably going to leave work early on Wednesday and take off Thursday until the following Wednesday. Ya'll leave on Monday I'll spend Tuesday recuperating and posting pics on FB.

Now to request time off.

I've decided that next week I'll go through my books and pull out what I want signed. And fortunately for me, my collection is not too big and I don't have many books I want signed. Also, last night I recieved an e-mail from photobucket informing my account had not been used in over a year. So I log into photobucket and there are all the pics I took from NYCC08. I then decided to remove them from photo bucket and put them on Fb, which I'll do the following week.

I think with Aaron Douglass we not only got lucky meeting him at D&B, which meant a photo during a situation where he'd find it hard to charge, but also we got really llucky getting a free photo at the con.
I'm racking my brain trying to remember if, at the Con, Aaron Douglass was actually selling any photos/autographs at his table of if he just had a table set up and was hanging out and shooting the shit with fans.

Douglass probably did have photos he was shilling but that didn't seem to be his primary concern. He seemed to be there more to have a good time and talk and laugh with the fans.

I hope Katee Sackoff is the same way but I won't hold my breath. As someone else said, some celebs are more approachable and open to photos and others can be dicks. Though I do wish that Kandyse McClure would be at the Con...

With Cameron Stewart? Damn, you think your comic book guys could arrange something like that at NYCC? A dinner for all of us and Stewart and Cooke?

No, they only do it as a con thing.

If by some chance in hell something is happening though, we could probably tag along, but I doubt anything would happen.
