No Conestoga this year --

[alfreda89]

Well, I sent off the letter today telling Conestoga that I can't come this year. I did SoonerCon last weekend, and I still haven't done my con report -- mostly because I'm tired, and the ADD effect has been worse for several days. I want to do ApolloCon, and I don't think I can leave town for vacation at the end of the month, and be in any kind of shape to do Conestoga.

Part of the reason I wanted to do it was because in the past it's been such a cool convention, and I haven't seen Laurell Hamilton in several years -- it could have been good. But I hear she's got a bodyguard now (one of those unpleasant side-effects of being a bestselling author...) and I have the feeling I would not get to see much of her. They keep GoHs pretty busy. So...perhaps a different convention.

I just made that unfortunate decision myself. I had planned on going to Conestoga and staying with family up in Tulsa, but money is short and I will get to see friends I haven't seen in a while that weekend if I stay home and let them come visit me. I can't make Apollocon either because I'm off on a business trip to Pennsylvania this week. But, I have already signed up for Armadillocon, including the writer's workshop on Friday. Will see you there, at least, yes?

I'm planning on it. I never know until the last minute how things are going to go, so I just post and go on from there. Which reminds me -- need to write CANCELED on the web site.

Have a god trip!
