WHY AREN'T YOU AT VIVIDCON?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Eh - that part doesn't matter. What matters is that people who aren't at VividCon should have a GOOD TIME this weekend anyway. ;)

[bkwyrm.livejournal.com]

HAY TO YOU TOO.

One of these days, we could see one another. In person. You could meet Fish, as long as I could ensure she would be sweet(ish) and not hellishly cranky. The way she's been all-too-often now that she's given up sleeping. *moan*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes - we keep talking about getting together and we never do. I can't do anything til Mon or Tues - I will call you?

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Some day, your Fish must meet my Frog.

Well, I'm certainly not at Vividcon. I'm recovering from getting my tonsils taken out.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! I hope you have ice cream and good stuff like that!

You know, not being at vividcon was not really an issue when I didn't live 5 miles away from the epicenter. Now I'm just thinking about how half my friends list is going to be in town and I'm going to be off in my own little world and it's just weird. Ah well. Maybe that'll be sufficient motivation to get me vidding again for next year. Anyway, yeah, good weekends are of the neccesity, especially after the pretty blargh day I had yesterday. My birth certificate came though, so hopefully Saturday morning I will be getting my driver's license, and then at some point this weekend I hope to take my 12x zoom to get some animal closeups at the zoo... are your finals going okay?

You can always go to the hotel itself and see your friends in the lobby and in the common spaces and in room parties - you just can't go into the three rooms reserved for con members. Lots of locals do that!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

oh, and finals are great - one take home final to finish tonight, one paper to write this weekend, and then that's it! Thank you for asking. :D

No Vividcon for me! I'm allergic to llamas!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You're allergic to llamas and cats... maybe they are RELATED!

Catllama....

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

No vividcon for me, but my work randomly gave me the weekend off, so yay for that. :)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

YAY! What do you do that you work on the weekend?

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

I've never been, so I don't even know what I'm missing!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You can join the merriment here even if you've never been. We don't discriminate here. :D

[lumenara.livejournal.com]

Also not at VividCon. Haven't actually gotten around to making a vid, yet, either. ;-)

I have been reading House fic since you linked to that promo pic the other day.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

HEE - that promo pic is really... motivating, isn't it. :D And it's a common misconception that you have to vid to attend VividCon. Half the membership has never vidded. Heck, half the CONCOM has never vidded!

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Never been to VividCon, though I hear it's a lovely experience. It would also help if I could, you know, VID.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

See comment to lumenara above re: vidding. :D

[deejay.livejournal.com]

Uhhh...huh...?

Well, if ya stop by and ghost awhile sometime, lemme know so I can show you my very first Premiere vid and Nearly New vid and two Lord King Bad Vids.

*sad*

Re:

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Tragically, no - won't be stopping by. But I'll see your Premiere vid on the DVD set!

[xenacryst.livejournal.com]

STRAW!

Also not at VVC. Probably will make it some year or other. Have no idea when. Plan on helping my mom find an apartment this weekend so she can move here (yay!). Really must make post about wonderful Tiptree biography I just read.

IZ IT CAN BE PARTY TIEM NAO?

PARTY TIEM

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

And yay about moving your mom close to you!

*parties*

[delle.livejournal.com]

am not at vividcon, altho Shrift and Nestra tell me the most wonderful stories....

but we traditionally watch the VVC DVD our first night in Atlanta for Dragon*Con!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool tradition! The guest list for this year's Dragon*Con is *astounding*. One of these days I will get to Dragon*Con. I've always wanted to go.

[keiko-kirin.livejournal.com]

No VVC for me this year. I am not sad to be missing the Chicago-in-August weather nor the harder-than-rocks VVC hotel beds. Am sad not to see friends. Will be sad to miss some vids -- and very happy to miss some others, I'm sure -- but J&K will be bringing DVDs back.

I bought a new car this week. My first new new car! It's cute. It's not a hybrid, bad me. But it gets great gas mileage. I would've bought a hybrid if I could've afforded one.

Good luck on your finals!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh - I had no idea you wouldn't be there this year! But you bought a CAR!! That's such a thing, isn't it, buying a new car. Do you just love it and want to drive it all the time?

[aerye.livejournal.com]

Hi. I am not at Vividcon. I am supposed to be at Vividcon, but my flight was canceled last night, due to bad weather (someplace between here and there. I thought it was Chicago but when I got home I looked at O'Hare's status and they were fine). I am rebooked on a stand-by flight this evening (because, of course, a billion people from yesterday are trying to get out today).

When it comes to Vividcon, I am beginning to feel like Fate is trying to tell me something and will keep fucking with me until I get it.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh noes - that's not the kind of "not at VividCon" I meant. Gah - I hope you get in tonight! Drop me a line and let me know?
