Join my really-badly-named club!

tzikeh: My friends and I and I are forming a club - the "I Wish I Were a Lesbian so I Could Come Out to My Parents to Force them to Deal With the Reality of Gays" club... Kinda unwieldy name.
elynross: Um. Yes. You could always just date lesbians!
tzikeh: well... not much fun for me, really.
elynross: "Mom, Dad, I'm not lesbian, but I'm dating a woman..."
tzikeh: lolol
elynross: It's the principle. Isn't it? *g*
tzikeh: Taking One For the Other Team, so to speak.
killabeez: snork
elynross: exactly!

Cheap airfare to Chicago - only seven days advance needed!

Southwest is offering a $79-each-way to fly to Chicago with a seven-day advance purchase from select cities. If you were thinking of coming to VividCon but figured you couldn't afford the airfare, check these out:

Baltimore Washington Int'l, MD
Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood, FL
Hartford, CT/Springfield, MA
Houston Hobby, TX
Las Vegas, NV
Los Angeles, CA
Manchester, NH
Oakland, CA
Orlando, FL
Phoenix, AZ
Providence, RI
San Diego, CA

Southwest flies to MIDWAY AIRPORT, so you'd have to take an airport shuttle (or the el or share a cab) to O'Hare / the hotel, but these are insanely good prices.
