Worldcon

[schneefink]

Soo I was sad about not going to WorldCon this year -
(Me today: I'm sad I'm not going to Worldcon.
DD: Why aren't you?
Me: …because I wasn't sure if I could go months ago, and now short-term it'd be a hassle with the tickets and the flights and the accommodation and stuff.
DD: All of that can be fixed/organized, you have the time and you could afford it, if you want to go then you should.
Me: …um.
Me: You're not wrong, but it would be a lot of work to organize and I hate organizing and it's late so who knows if it'll work out... and it'd be a LOT and what if it's too tiring... and what if...)
- and I would probably talk myself into it in a few days but I just saw that they only sell membership passes for the next hour and a half and that's way too fast to make a decision!! And the hotels nearby are already full! And it's a lot of money! And DD is already asleep and LB not responding!
Whyy couldn't I have thought of this tomorrow then it would have been too late anyway and no longer an issue, or otherwise yesterday. Why am I so indecisive and have bad timing. Someone talk me in or out of this please.

ETA: Tickets bought! I'm going to Worldcon! ...probably. I could still change my mind and resell them. But probably not. Guess I'll see. Aaah my nerves.

You should go, and post at great length, so I can live vicariously through you!

...alternatively, start planning now to come to WorldCon 2021 in DC?

By the way, there's a chance I'll be in Munich this December. Maybe I can make my way down to Vienna (she says, with only a very foggy notion of European railways and distances).

I bought the tickets! Aaaah I'm nervous. It'll probably be great! I think.

Munich is very close to Vienna! Only a little over four hours by train, and probably not longer (and cheaper) by bus. I'd love to meet up if you get the chance :D

Yay!

[schneefink]

yay! /nervous&excited

[goss]

Yay for getting tickets! \o/

[schneefink]

I do have tickets! It's a sign! (DD said my timing was perfect because this way I was only anxious about buying the tickets for two hours instead of a whole day ^^)

[yuuago]

That does sound a bit stressful. Hopefully you'll be able to make arrangements, though! If you go, it'll be really fun. :)

[schneefink]

It's not even a lot to organize, just accommodations and the flight mostly, but I'm not used to this... but I'm sure it'll be fun :)

Yay tickets! Impulsive cons are the best cons. :D

[schneefink]

I hope so! Not that I have other cons to compare it to ;)

Good luck!

I find that it's better for me to just Do The Thing if I'm waffling over it. A bit of spontainety never did anyone any harm, etc. (Though I did also buy my Dubcon membership over a year ago, so.)

[schneefink]

Omg I forgot that it's DubCon xD
You're going to? Great :D

Officially, it's Dublin 2019 - An Irish Worldcon, which is a colossal missed opportunity. (We need to find a place that starts with Non- and is willing to call their Worldcon NonCon.)

Not only am I attending, I'll be on two panels! (Science track.) If you write up notes about panels I'm a panelist on, I'll be very amused.

[naye]

Oooooooohhhh yayyyy!! It's been years we need to meet up! <3

[schneefink]

Absolutely!!! You'll be there for the whole con? Any plans yet? Where are you guys staying?
