Oh, man. Al and I could make this if we drove like wild women to make it to Maine the next day. I'm sooo tempted!!!

[geekchick]

That would indeed be an insane drive. Yeesh. =) Not that I'm at all trying to discourage you and Al from showing up, mind you. (Here, wombat! ;) )

Heck, I'm tempted to come to the DC area for that. :-)

Did you do know that they are in the prosess of making a Good Omens movie?

As fars as I know neither Terry or Neil have much (if any thing) to do with it.

I keep reading about this and can't decide if it will be dreadful or wonderful. I mean, Terry Gilliam is directing, so that bodes well, but still...I'm not sure it will translate well to film..

Oh, and geekchick I'm not sure what I'm doing on 9/30, but it sounds like a fun evening.

[geekchick]

I'll try to pick up a couple of extra tickets when I make reservations. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get there myself, seeing as it's really inconveniently timed; I'll have to take a couple of hours off of work I think.

BTW, yes, the "A Mighty Wind" tour sounds like it could be fun, I need to check on what else is going on that week. Sometime around then is the Delerium concert too; at least I know they won't overlap since they're both at the 9:30.

[geminigirl]

I think the Delirium concert is the 24th. I haven't bought a ticket for it either-it's very close to Rosh Hashana and I need to figure out if they conflict.


Right now it's you, me and rivka for Mighty Wind.

[geekchick]

Yeah, they've been talking about it forever. I won't believe it's actually happening until I see it.

if you're not planning on going, GO! I saw him at Jersey Devil Con, and he is so funny in person.

I'd love to come, but I'll probably be in Spain by then :-|.
