I've never been to Texas.  

How 'bout that, Pedro?  I've never been there.  I sure do wish somebody would take me someday.  


Nudge.  

Oh boy, oh boy, Jamie is coming to visit.  Oh no, i've gotta clean the place up.

Seriously, Jamie, Pedro, Pearce, if you come to Texas, I will make it my personal business to see that you have the most excellent time of your life.

Once you're done waiting in some of the worst traffic in the US and frolicking in the runoff from the petrochemical industry, come on over and rinse off in the beautiful, clean Pacific ocean.

I do like Texas, though - Houston would not be my first choice (that would be Austin) for places to live, but if I had to move and Tx was an option, I would go.

You know, Paul's been talking about the Beatles for a while over in the music thread, if you want a contextual excuse to keep right on trying out your apple gimmick.

Hi all,

Quick update - I'm all moved in and nearly unpacked (and we only moved two days ago)!  It's all very awesome.  A friendly man came and hooked my home pc up to the net today, so here I am, and posting from home for the first time ever!

I don't have time to add much explaination right now but I just got a major, major, major promotion where I work which happens to be the largest Children's Theatre in Canada, 2nd largest in North America.  (And I still get the whole summer off!) We've got a beautiful theatre that is totally reconfigurable to any shape, as well as several great rehearsal halls etc.  I can get free space whenever I want and a cut rate on technicians, production crew etc., and have access to lots of top-o-the-line equipment.  

Here's the theatre: http://www.mtyp.ca - but don't be alarmed, we've had several non-child related things happen there.

Anyone wanna consider Winnipeg - central to Canada and highly accessable to the Northern States?  We could look at doing something major or really small, or anywhere in between!  I'll be in heavy rehearsal from Sept - Oct with the next show I'm directing, so the date might need to be in November or later...

I gotta' get back to work now, but will check back later today and actually read the whole damn thread.

Everything's comin' up side_show!

What if we had simultaneous mini-cons in several cities?  We could have on in DC, another for los Californianos, and maybe one in the deep south (perhaps Tejas, since Paul is all about some Achehead Con).  We could arrange for one person in each group to call someone else in another group, and pass the ol' cell phone around a bit.  When it's all done, we'd have some cool photos to post and we'd at least get to meet some of the people in our region.  

Other thoughts?


Time zones may pose a difficulty. Plus, isn't one of us from bumfuck Alaska? Will that person party by themselves?


Yes, Bobby, every day is a party when you are me.

Anyway...Sadly, CJ, living in a place called "bumfuck" isn't as fun as you would think. And yep, I'm on a godforsaken rock in the middle of the Bering Sea. So unless I can scare up about $1,800 (USD) for airfare, I'm not going anywhere. Plus I have to figure out when I could possibly take leave. We are a surprisingly busy place for being so isolated.

How close are you to BC? Are you seriously in the middle of the Bering Sea? Cause Cali people can drive/fly/swim up to BC with a little difficulty.
