In reply to woofwoofarf. procrastination is a competitive sport in the fannish world Hmmmmmm, a sense another possible panel topic... As for getting to the airport, the CTA isn't a bad way to go for us. Just maybe not with freakin' huge, heavy luggage. The transit options from our neighborhood to the airport involve changing buses at least once. And we generally have at least one suitcase full of 'zines, so have the heavy luggage problem, too. We've got it all taken care of :-) Oh. Duh. Okay, fine. :P

In reply to sumatrae. I probably won't make it to MFM, sadly. Money's a bit too tight, I'm afraid.

Oh, I know I don’t stand a chance on a contest like that, not when procrastination is a competitive sport in the fannish world! As for getting to the airport, the CTA isn’t a bad way to go for us. Just maybe not with freakin’ huge, heavy luggage. In the middle of summer. Ugh.
And as for getting to the hotel: hey, you don’t need to worry about that. We’ve got it all taken care of 🙂 (MFF treats their guests right!)

I need to know the parameters of this contest. Do you mean for cons in general or just this year’s Anthrocon? Because I frequently don’t get around to writing some con reports until a couple months later.
And if I finish part three of my AC ’04 report now, a year later, does that count? ^_^ (I have been working on it off and on for all these months…)
I’ve become completely enamoured with shuttle bus services. We have one company here in Seattle whose prices are just so reasonable (okay, not as cheap as $2…). But it’s cheaper than the park and rides up here. That’s hard to beat.
Note to self: remember to figure out what our options are for getting to the hotel in Schaumberg.

She did one for your hubby too, I remember.
Love her work on the EF program guide a few years back.
Coming to MFM or is that too much of a drain?

In reply to sumatrae. Well, it's not so much that the curtains were bad, it's that since there were only sheers the full brunt of daylight went into the parlor. I'm really glad I wasn't sleeping out there because light wakes me up; I would have been up every morning at about 5:30 AM. The badge was done by the incomparable (who is, coincidentally, one of the Guests of Honor at Midwest FurFest this year). Her website is http://www.kenket.com.

Only a happily gay man would comment about the curtains in his hotel room 😉
Who did the badge in your icon?

You win only because I don’t expect Kage to write a con report 🙂
