I got a letter today.

They want me to speak at WonderCon. It's a big comic book convention in San Francisco.

Biggest problem? It's during the middle of Passover.

Still. This is big league stuff here.

Big league. WonderCon is put on by the same folks who do Comic Con.

Whee!

I'm going to be speaking right after Geoff Johns has a panel.

Oh fuck... my paper is about Hal Jordan and Parallax and Geoff Johns is the guy who wrote the story saying that he and Parallax were two different entities and I'm going to be arguing that might have been a mistake.


Now why can't my fiction be this awesomely loved.

WHAAAAAAA! NO WAY, SO AWESOME! I'm going with you. How much are tickets, rooms, everything? I'm getting a decent refund so I'm totally going with you.

BTW, my mom says congratulations and "YAAAAY! ... YAAAAY! ... Yay." Yes, she did it three times like that.

I don't know! It's at the WonderCon site. I'm getting in free.

I don't know where I'm staying or anything. It's complicated because it's in the middle of Passover.

It's actually ridiculously cheap. Only 40 for three-day pass at the door, 30 if you get it online. Hotels are a pain in the butt, though.

Explain, if you will, for your atheist friend over here, how passover interferes with going somewhere? Not being a butthead, just not sure what the observance entails.

Massive Food restrictions.

I can only eat kosher for Passover food.

Ah. Hrm... Well, this is San Francisco we're talking about, a city generally more observant of other peoples way-of-lifes than most cities. I can't imagine a humongous issue finding something you can eat out there. Do a bit of research on the area surrounding where ever you'll wind up staying, I bet there's to be some stores you can buy food at. Difficult, I imagine, but doable for something this neat.

True. It will take a bit more planning.

Also, because I'm too lazy to go to your other post. You should use some of that money to fix your lap top.

Wow, that's so cool!

Congratulations!

Oh, exciting!

That's awesome! Maybe the hotel restaurants will have Passover menus?

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

Likely not. It's a good thought, but the hotel restaurants would need to be kosher in the first place. I'll probably have to drag food with me. Fortunately it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
