All year, I've been pretty much assuming I was going to NASFiC, a.k.a. Cascadia Con<\/a> (the North American sf convention that happens in years when WorldCon is overseas). It'll be the fifth anniversary of SH<\/cite>'s launch, it'll be in the US so more of our contributors seemed likely to come to it (than to WorldCon), it'll be in SeaTac, which is a fairly short hop up the coast from here.<\/p>\n

But it turns out Susan and Karen aren't going; Mary Anne's uncertain; in fact, the only person I know who's definitely said they're going is David M. I don't think any of the SH<\/cite> staff will be there. We haven't planned a tea party, and I'm not up to doing so, so if M doesn't go, we probably won't have one. (I did get as far as exchanging email with the Party Maven about possibilities, though.)<\/p>\n

I hate the idea of not having a fifth-anniversary celebration. It seems like a big deal to me. But it's beginning to seem like more hassle than it's worth.<\/p>\n

We could have such a celebration at World Fantasy in Madison; Karen will be there, at least. But I'm not sure yet whether I'm going to that either. (But that shouldn't stop people from having a party, of course!) And it's a much smaller con, probably less online-publication-friendly (judging by my impressions of last year's WFC, anyway), and it'll be two months after the actual anniversary.<\/p>\n

I bought plane tickets to NASFiC yesterday, but they're the fully refundable variety. And I reserved a hotel room, but I can cancel that up to the last minute. (And the con hotel is sold out, so my room is in the secondary hotel a mile away.) And I almost bought a membership, because yesterday was the last day to buy them in advance, but the website still has an expired security certificate, and I kept waffling, and I ended up not doing it. So if I were to go, I'd have to get a membership at the door.<\/p>\n

Dunno. Right now it's seeming like too much expense and energy. But I would probably regret not going.<\/p>\n

But I guess I have a little more time left in which to decide.<\/p>\n

Okay, off to work I go.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
