Tell me: Who's going to Polaris?

[thebitterguy]

I know most of the people here aren't local, but for those who are about Toronto way, who here is going to Polaris (aka The Convention Formerly Known as Toronto Trek)?

I used to see a good number of y'all there, but lately the numbers have been shrinking.

For the first time in a couple of years, The Mate and I will be attending.

[thebitterguy]

Cool. I'll see you there.

I wasn't going to, but I may just come up for the screenwriter's workshop. If I can get in. ;P

[thebitterguy]

Excellent. Just for that day, or making it a weekend?

[noizangel.livejournal.com]

Likely for the day. GenCon is becoming a yearly thing - G and I just pack in all the weird LARP events we can (Pirates! Spies! Pseudo Venice!) - so it's less viable for me to outlay the kind of money I used to on TT.

When debt gets cleared, I'll likely go back more. I do like the panels.

Maybe next year. Although we're going to World Con next year, so possibly not.

I'll be there. In the bed next to yours.

My brother wasn't interested until they announced Gar and Judith Reeves Stevens. Now he says he'll probably come for a day (and Paradise for the other one).

[thebitterguy]

I'm still surprised at the lack of a movement to protest Polaris obvious attempt to put the Paradise show out of business. Or possibly vice versa.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

I'd say vice versa, and I'm not planning to attend another Paradise show in the future. That really ticked me off.

I'm going to be there, I'm volunteering again so like last year I think I'll have every minute scheduled but hopefully I'll get to see you and Cindy :)

[thebitterguy]

I prefer panelling to volunteering, as I get to talk like an authority more.

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

I've lucked into main room volunteering again which I quite like. But I'm leaving time to come to the panels too :)

[elizard100.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wouldn't miss it. It's not about the guests, it's about seeing friends.

[thebitterguy]

You working this year, or just attending for fun?

Hiho,

I'll be there. But that probably doesn't surprise you. :)

Cu,
Andrew
