Still Alive...

I haven't posted in forever -- including to my fitness filter, which is supposed to be a daily thing for me.

I just returned late last week from a trip to Florida to see my ailing great-uncle. I went along mostly as my mother's arms since she is under medical orders to lift no more than 20 pounds due to osteoporosis. Anyhow, I spent a week ferrying relatives and cursing the lack of internet at the family beach house. It makes sense (the beach is supposed to be the point of being there so why have internet?) but I'd planned to continue working while I was away. Not so much. I did get to see the headstone that was placed on my grandmother's grave. It was the first time I'd been back to St. Augustine since her funeral 3 years ago.

I've been pouring my energy into getting fit and running sg1_lims. It takes almost all of my online time but it has been rewarding. I'm digging through a huge pile of comments, e-mails, and messages. I will answer everyone as quickly as I can.

It costs the usually $369 - which does NOT include 3 out of the 7 guests' autographs (BB, CB and David Franklin) nor the brunch, neither BB or CB comes to the special gold cocktail party function but for $90 you can buy a ticket to the brunch with BB (& other guests) and for another $90 you can get a separate cocktail party with CB from the one that's included. The cabaret ticket is included but no brunch AT ALL.

From their site: "Complimentary, non-rushed, in-person autographs with great guests..." Yeah, right. Ask Aaron Douglas about how one of the CEOs stood outside screaming on the phone that Aaron was actually TALKING to people - in full hearing of fans waiting in line for his autograph. Aaron said at ShoreLeave he'd never do Creation again and would tell anyone who'd listen not to do them either; however, he did one in the past year. His boss probably told him he *had* to do it or something.

Oh that is a crappy deal. I guess Farscape fans can afford those incredibly overpriced DVDs and so they can afford tickets like that. That's...unreal.

I heard about the Aaron Douglas incident. I'm always amazed that when I think Creation can't possibly find employees who are worse, they do. Last year's NJ con was *fabulous* because all of the uptight jerks were elsewhere working other cons. Quite an amazing difference.

They were in Burbank...with me.
