In Which I Attempt To Sell Shiny
Jun. 30th, 2010 11:41 amToday, I have monies. \o/ Yay for payday! (does the I Am Not Broke dance) It is an extra big payday too, due to the interesting twists and turns of dates that occur when you are paid monthly. Next month shall be even bigger. This is balanced by two back-to-back short paychecks around December. >:[ But I shall be careful with my savings, and stock pile like a good squirrel.
Which is why I'm looking at plane tickets. >_> I have monies now, and so should make the Big Ticket Purchase now, before prices go up. Yes/Yes? (Speaking of,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sophie_448, we must see if we can arrange to share a plane or something! D: )
See, WinCon is in October. Three months is a decent amount of time to purchase plane tickets. (And also, if I buy them now, my boss will not be able to randomly remember a Family Reunion, picnic, trip or etc and ask me to only take one or a half day off.) I'm looking at $255, heading out on Thursday and returning Monday. That's not bad, considering what it cost me to go to Denver last year! I could save $40 by driving to a nearby airport, but I would end up spending it in car storage and gas.
I've been to WinCon twice, in 2008 and 2009. 2008 in Baltimore, I got my first tatoo*. In 2009, I was on far too tight a schedule to manage ink again. This year, I hope to get a second tattoo! Either I will get a shared tattoo withjadetate and clex_monkie89, or I will get a Cap Tat. One way or another, I want more ink!
* Yes,thenyxie and her husband were involved in my tattoo choices. No, I don't regret it. At the time, I wasn't aware of what had happened. And that is the last I'm going to mention of it.
Since my brain is on WinCon, this is when I try to sell my entire flist & circle on WinCon.
( Shameless pimping )
Wincon is always an amazing, fun experience, and I haven't walked away from it dissatisfied yet. If you're worried about being alone, I will be there, and I totally welcome people to snuggle and cling to. It's not really a big convention, which helps with the atmosphere, and (speaking entirely for myself) makes it hard to feel lonely and isolated. There's booze, food (according to the FAQ, there is a Corporate McDonalds nearby), music, excellent company, a good atmosphere and a ton of fannish things do and to discuss.
