I have a slight problem. See, there are going to be a ton of people at Arisia that I really want to see, and I haven't been to the con in several years. Yeah, Boston in January, I know. The problem is that they've moved Arisia (insert grumble here about moving the dates, with extra bonus not-very-complimentary epithet) so that it now conflicts with alt.polycon 12 in Baltimore, where there are also going to be a good number of people I want to see. I can't do both, not while keeping what remains of my sanity at any rate. I'd rather not do neither. Do I flip a coin?

(This of course assumes that it's not completely irrelevant by virtue of needing to be on a plane to the left coast on the 22nd.)

Given things being said in

danaeris's LJ, Arisia sounds almost scary, IMO... (grin).

If you are going to the annual business meeting out here, why would you need to leave that soon (Saturday)?

There's nothing inherently scary about Arisia, I'm afraid I don't really know what you mean by that.

If I go to Sunnyvale (which I keep typing everywhere as "Sunnydale", a pop culture reference which you won't get but is easily figured out with a quick Google search), I'll need to be there Sunday afternoon. If I wanted to have any social time with anyone, I'd probably want to be there on Saturday as I won't really have any time during the week.

I guess I don't understand cons, really. And "sunnydale" appears to be a school: http://www.sunnydale.org/ . Why you'd care about a Christian academy... (scratches head).

Try Googling "Sunnydale" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

I don't. It's a Buffy reference.

:P

I've never watched an episode of Buffy...

I know, that's why I said you wouldn't get the reference without using Google. Or asking Pat. ;-P
