...Yeah, so much for Writercon 2009.
Five days after Comic-Con is effectively no different than having them on the same weekend (as the last Writercon was) for anybody without great whopping masses of disposable income. And after two years Writercon-less, I've got a standing date with CC as the only chance I have to see certain people once a year. Writercon would have been my chance to see people I haven't seen in more than a year, but...
I'm disappointed but also kind of cranky, because this isn't a new issue, and it's not an improvement.
- Well, then.

And I'm actually pleased by the location; it's close enough to the middle of the country for it not to be a no-chancer for my California and West Canucklehead friends. But not with that timing.

If I did both I'd bankrupt myself, and I'm not skipping the one where I get to see you and co-pilot kthx.

I drive to SDCC and I couldn't afford both. :(
I also really need to overhaul my icons on this account because I'm way short on SiP ones.

I was thinking I wanted to make it out the Comic Con one of these years. I was thinking I could go there and extend the vacation and visit Mom while I was on the wrong side of he country.
Now I must think and look at the piggy bank.

They're too far apart to road trip from one to the other and the middle week off work?
