RL things, sort of

[heidi]

I've been home for nearly two and a half weeks, so it's time to start thinking about traveling! Again!

Which means it's time for a poll. On the Azkatraz-centric one below, this is just to try and gauge interest - please pimp it, but it's not going to be the be-all-and-end-all of decision-making. A lot of scheduling - especially something on Alcatraz and a large-scale wrock event, depend on location availability. But your answers would be good food for thought.

[Poll #1241779]

ETA: Oh, squee! My FictionAlley Cats Quidditch team shirt arrived! And so did yours, Magpie and Gwen and Asha - ladies, if you could email me your addresses I'll send them out tomorrow. They look *sensational*! And very purple! Squee.

ETA2 at 230 PM - merging all my squee into one place
laughingirl has a book!
Ghostfacers Harry and Ed are coming to EyeCon next month!
Coming later today, the official azkatraz hotel announcement! Can't make reservations until after tomorrow, though...

I'll be coming in on Thursday for Eyecon but I hadn't heard of this show watching shindig, where are the deets for that, pray tell?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I don't know if anything is being officially organized, but even just jamming everyone into a hotel room for squee-age would be fantastic, IMHO.

[shadow-of-doubt.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the hotel that is hosting EyeCon doesn't get the CW, or at least it didn't in April.

I'm coming in on Friday.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Then we'll have to use a slingbox ;) - or I can see if we get it over at Universal, which is where some of my friends are staying....

[qwertypoiuq.livejournal.com]

I concur! You should suggest it on the LJ comm, we did it at the first Asylum, hired out a conference room in another hotel and played it from someone's laptop - although if you talked to Kenny I bet it's the sort of thing he'd like to include anyway.

That's always assuming I actually get to Alkatraz which is far from certain and depends mostly on my job and flight costs but I loved SF the one time I visited before

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I love San Francisco, and I used to end up there every two or three years, but I haven't been back since January of 2001, and I miss it! I'm so glad to have an excuse to go next summer - and I hope it works for you to come!

[jsmitty-o.livejournal.com]

I wasn't planning on going to Azkatraz (um, I still need to look up what it is exactly, but I can make an educated guess as well!), but I'd be more than happy to have scoreboard and I meet up with you and even take you on a mini tour or similar. I love being an SF tour guide. And we're not opposed to going up to Napa Valley, either. ;)

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

We're looking at wine tour things for Friday - and we have to make sure we figure out a chance to get together, even if it's just y'all swinging by my hotel for drinks one of the days, or something.

I'd like to come to your panel, but I am a bad attendee and haven't even looked to see when everything is tentatively scheduled for. This will be my first Dragon*Con though, so I'm really excited.

And I'm always in Orlando, it's just a matter of scheduling. *cries*

[hermione-like.livejournal.com]

You're going to D*Con too, Lara? Me too! :D

Heidi--I don't know if I'll make it to your panel but I'd love to see you! :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Do you still have my phone number for calling/texting?

[hermione-like.livejournal.com]

I do! It's still the 926 number, right?

[momebie.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I should find some time to stalk you. I might be needing your phone number. *shifty eyes* If you're comfortable with me having it, you can e-mail it to lkcripe at gmail dot com, and I'll hit you back with mine. :)

[hermione-like.livejournal.com]

No problem! I will be emailing you shortly. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Put me on your calendar (I'm on Friday, as I didn't make that clear) and we'll see if it works! Otherwise, perhaps Orlando in October?

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I did my research last night! There's one panel that conflicts with yours so far, but I'll probably just come to yours anyway. That way I can wind my way down when you're finished and introduce myself. Plus, something like that would be interesting on a professional level, since I handle permissions and copyrights of literary works on a daily basis. Maybe I can convince my boss to put it on my review. ;)

[hermione-like.livejournal.com]

O_o When in October will you be there? I'm going to Not-So-Scary with my family the night of Fri, Oct 10, and then we'll be at the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot on Saturday and then probably MGM/Animal Kingdom Sunday if you're there any of those days. :)

[freckles42.livejournal.com]

I would come up early to Azkatraz do touristy stuff on my own. :) Goodness knows I'll need the breathing room before a socially intense thing like a con. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Completely understandable. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel after Azkatraz *plus* Comic Con...

[aome.livejournal.com]

If we do go to Azkatraz, it's highly likely we'll be in CA for a good week, total, visiting family.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you how much I hope you do this. I so so want to meet the girls!

[rookie131.livejournal.com]

We will be in Fla in March again next year. I'll let you know when I have more details.

[anemonerose.livejournal.com]

I have a video I think you'd like to see. It's of the FictionAlley Cats at Terminus - they actually made up a cheer and it was really cute. I also have pictures to share, and am supposed to pass along a great big "thank you" from the FA Cats players to you for sponsoring their team. :)

I was hoping to post the video somewhere online for other folks to see but am not sure how to go about doing that. Any ideas you can give me? That way you could see it and so could anyone else who's interested.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oooh, excellent! We actually have a Spellcast account on YouTube - would that work? Is it ok for it to be totally public? If not then let's just megaupload and share the url among the stafflists.

[anemonerose.livejournal.com]

I would assume it's fine - the girls didn't say any differently. Do you want me to send you the file so that you can upload it? I don't know how to do it myself unfortunately.
