Friday morning I'll be taking my very first flight to my very first sci-fi convention to meet
fwf for the very first time (there will also be a
ninamazing with us, but I met her over Spring Break, so she doesn't really fit into the whole
firsts theme I have going here.)
What I'm most nervous about is the flight. The first one leaves at 8:30 Friday morning and I have layovers in Atlanta and Cincinnati before reaching Madison, Wisconsin at 2:30 in the afternoon. I keep having dreams that I miss a flight and am stuck in some strange place with no money to get home or that I forget about the whole thing entirely and the money I paid for everything is a total waste.
But enough with that. Let's move on to more positive things! Yesterday I took a look at
the schedule and found several things to be excited about.
- THERE'S A DR. HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG PARTY WHAT!
- A discussion panel all on Harry Potter and Battlestar Galactica fanfiction. Um, yes. They would pick these two specific fandoms for it to be about, wouldn't they?
- A panel on Dollhouse! Though I feel this has the potential for people getting angry what with feminists being completely divided on how they feel about this show.
ninamazing has already agreed to go to this one with me. And, um, I might want to get around to watching the final three episodes, huh?
- A panel on Doctor Who and Torchwood! OMG.
- A discussion panel all for talking about what we loved and hated about Battlestar Galactica now that it's over. I think this is what I'm most exited about!
- And there's a specific time for mothers to gather with their kiddos and talk about Twilight. I AM SO GOING TO BE THERE. I love listening to feminist mamas go on about Twilight.
- Also, the whole part where I'm going to be with
fwf and
ninamazing the whole time! The three of us have known each other through LiveJournal for over a year and a half now, so it's going to be excellent being able to giggle together for realz rather than typing 'LOL' at one another.
I'll probably keep my MacBook on me at all times and take ridiculous amounts of notes about everything and post them here, so keep your eyes open!
