[fandom] Writercon 2009

[escritoireazul]

I tried to buy my Writercon 2009 ticket to add to my list of things I accomplished today (so far, it's a short list), but the payment won't go through and I'm too foggy-headed to troubleshoot it. Anyone know if their paypal system is messed up right now? I'll try again tomorrow (or will at least be able to ask for help tomorrow, I hope). (Also, I can't decide what to put on my badge. I'd like it to read like this:

Carla
escritoireazul

but I don't know if that's possible. Maybe I'll make my own LJ sticker with my default icon, a la what they do at Wiscon.)

I'll be driving from Kansas City; it looks like it's less than seven hours, which actually makes it the shortest road trip of the summer. Most of August is open right now, and I don't know what I'll be doing during it, but the idea of my car and my music and the open road is intoxicating.

I'm rooming with nikitangel. It's a little weird to be attending a convention that isn't Wiscon, and to attend one without kphoebe, revena, chr0me_kitten, cabell, etc. I already know how to be comfortable in person with them, and that's not something I am good at being.

Still, I keep pushing myself to try new things, and this is something I've really been looking forward to doing. nikitangel started talking it up in 2006, and though I couldn't attend that year, since I didn't learn about it until May, I'm glad to go this year.

Who else is going? We should hang out.

(My computer wants to restart. I'm going to bed.)

I used paypal yesterday and had no problems.

Thanks for the info!

I am going to be there. And Gwynne will be there -- you met her at Wiscon.

And you definitely can have both names on your badge; many do that.

Yay! Can't wait to see you two!

About Paypal, I dunno. I hope you can get it to work, but there's no reason I know of for it not to.

I tried Paypal to see what's going on, and couldn't do it either. I just sent a message to the person with the account info, and we'll hope to have that resolved ASAP.

Thanks so much for the heads-up!

Thank you for being so on the ball with taking care of things! I was going to email you if it still didn't work today, because my brain has been so fried lately I couldn't figure out who was in charge of that part of it.

I can't wait to see you!

Hi - it's working now, but you'll need to re-register because your previous registration didn't go through correctly. I'm very sorry about the inconvenience. And we'll make a note of what you want on your badge as well.

I'm going.

I'm gonna be there, too: _beetle_

Making the hotel reservations with my next paycheck. I'm nervous as a box of cats, but excited, too. About the Con, not making reservations. . . .

And it's that kinda spaziness that anyone meeting me in person will recognize me by.
