Making Vacation Plans for the Year  

  • Alaska. Maybe July/August but I'd really prefer to go after school is back in session in early September. That's what we did last time and it was like having the whole state to ourselves. I'm already dreaming of the Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup with Black Truffle Oil that we had last time at the Crow's Nest at the Captain Cook Hotel. Seriously - the best meal I ever ate in my life. Hope they still have the same chef. I desperately want to tack on a stop over, even if it's a couple of days, in Vancouver because I just hate to go 2 years without seeing British Columbia.


  • New Jersey, Western. Mid-September for a friend's wedding. Thankfully, the man has the excellent sense to live in charming western NJ.


  • New Jersey, Eastern. November. Supreme irony of my life that I'll be venturing into New Jersey twice in one year. I may not make it to B.C. but I'll be in NJ twice?!? Obviously the only reason I'm venturing into eastern NJ now that [livejournal.com profile] immlass and [livejournal.com profile] mcroft have moved is because pretty, pretty men will be at the Stargate Convention. I already have tickets and they're front row center. So...no way I'm missing that one. I may not be sticking around for the week afterwards, though, as I have in the past -- which really stinks because a 2 day visit to the Met has become a yearly pleasure and I was hoping to make it to the Brooklyn Museum's Egyptian Collection.

It's actually some of the fans for a particular character that I love that scare me.

Whatever could you mean? ;-) I wasn't so fond of the bizarre and vocal Jack/Sam fans at Gatecon but I imagine some of the unmentioned character's fans were equally obnoxious. Mostly, I made those comments to needle [livejournal.com profile] majorsamfan and [livejournal.com profile] triciabyrne1978, my S/J buds. :)

I've realized that all the people that I've ever not really had an interest in ended up being very cool, so now I just excited to meet everyone. They all have their own surprises.

Absolutely. It may be the big three who sell the tickets - and yes, it's fun to see them - but I've found every single person from the Stargate cast/crew whom I've "met" to be very nice people and each has added to the con experience.

Teryl, Don, and Peter have always impressed me by generously giving of themselves and making a concerted effort to connect with the con-goers. I'm sure whatever happens I'll have fun. Even if every guest turned out to be a dud, the friends I've made would be fun to hang with and drown our sorrows.

MS always turns my brain to mush, too. I have to have other people around to talk for me. I'm such a dweeb.

Not afraid of needles...

Depends on who's doing it. Now if you can get RDA on board...

There are few who would object, I should think.
