Chicago, Here I Come.

When both one's hubby and one's father's wife (I really need a better nickname for her than that, because she's not my stepmother) are saying "Get on the goddamn plane!" then I guess one should get on the goddamn plane.

So, yes, I am going to Chicago TARDIS next week.

I might be a wee bit wonky on Friday, depending on how much sleep I get on the red-eye and/or if I can cram in a couple of hours at the hotel before the programming gets underway.

I'm waiting to hear from the second of my two potential roomies re: splitting some space. I'm going to call the hotel and, if there are any rooms left in the con-block, I'm going to book one, just in case the rooming situation doesn't pan out and/or the con-block closes before the con itself occurs - this can happen, I'm told. I'd prefer to book and then cancel, than run the risk of having to sleep in the lobby.

Edited 11/16 - The roomie situation is sorted, although I might be carrying the entire cost of Sunday night. Whatever, it's still cheaper to stay over rather than to fly home on Sunday.

Right now, I'm going to chase down the programming person and see if they still need that mod for the cosplay panel. And then I've got to figure out if I can do the entire weekend with one carry on bag1. I know what the baggage apes are like on holiday weekends, I'd rather NOT let them vent their spleen on my things.

1 - No, I don't think I'll manage it, either.But I'm going to try. Maybe if I wore the Femmy 10 corset under my shirt whilst I'm traveling. No, wait, that'll play merry hell with airport security...

*Insert Barely Restrained Noises of Enthusiasm, Here*

Um.

Wow.

I think forces are conspiring to send me to Chicago TARDIS, after all.

Hubby and I just talked and he says it's okay - really, really okay1 - if I go away for a couple of days. In fact, he thought I've been planning to go all this time.

The cosplay panel needs a mod - a staffer posted on [livejournal.com profile] dw_cosplay asking around for one.

I found an airfare for under $400 - although my body wouldn't appreciate arriving at O'Hare at 4AM, body-time. (ow!!!)

Hm.

Hmm...

Who wants/needs a roomie? No, really. [livejournal.com profile] agentxpndble?

I'm going to sleep on it, as I don't want to make any decisions in haste but, as of this instant, of course I want to go!

(edit: actually, I might have to decide tonight, else I'm going to be within 7 days of departure and we all know what happens to airfares, then, don't we?)

No, I would not be doing the crazy-assed Masquerade number borne of last night's martini-fumes. You know I can't sing!

1 - as readers of my regular journal know, my husband has some health issues at the moment that make me a little twitchy about going out of town.
