I'm In!
What happened with World Fantasy Convention is simultaneously simple and inexplicable. My regular e-mail address - which is a working e-mail address on which I have received things as recently as today - bounced. Twice. They finally reached me on the query I sent yesterday via Gmail. But they've wanted me in all along.
There are days I hate e-mail.
Anyhow, I'll be sending them the forms at minimum by tomorrow evening.
Happy Lenora.
I've also had an invite to 1000 Miles Apart, the ceramics convention that we hosted last year. This year, it's in Regina. At the start of October, as WFC is at the end. The Professor will be going (He has, by his own description a diesel/vegetable oil van that seats 14, and there are only 5 in my class), so it won't count as missed class time, which makes me moderately tempted. Although I may refuse just so I have the free studio time. (Also so I don't have a motel fee.)
However, our professor is explicit that, as the Majors class, we should send work for the show even if we don't go ourselves.
For some reason, I keep thinking about sending some of my nicer mugs, not my figure work. Is it because it's fragile? Because Comiccon is immediately after, and WFC after that? Or because I like my mugs?
I need to open up ALL my boxes of pottery and scan them over again, and see what all I have in there. (The figures are sitting in our living room, not in boxes, but there are a lot of plates and mugs and bowls I've half-forgotten.)
Anyhow. I must to choir.

Aside from the people who live there, and the people who wish they did, of course.
Apparantly, Colin thinks I should go to Regina, too, and he's the money around here.

Wonderful news!
And I agree with your mom. You should go to Regina. Absolutely should.
Re: Wonderful news!
The main issues with going to Regina are lost work time and cost, and since Colin is encouraging me to go (And reminded me there's a hostel there, much cheaper), cost is likely to be less of a problem than otherwise. I had fun at the conference that happened in Winnipeg, and likely will again.
