Convention plans
13 years ago
It takes about five listens to an album to properly get to know and appreciate the music on it, and my music library has grown much to large for me to have that kind of familiarity with all the music I have. But now and then while listening to a randomly-generated playlist it'll present me with a tune that catches my ear, and I'll load the album onto my mp3 player and give it a listen-through. One such recent album was a 1985 collaboration between Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn entitled "Profiles". This album is awesome, and I'll be giving it a few more plays. The music isn't much like either Pink Floyd or 10cc; only two of the tracks have any vocals, and the musical style is somewhere between instrumental rock and jazz fusion.
Anyhow, on to the main point of my post. Convention plans for 2012...
FCN: I've known since about December that I probably wouldn't be able to attend FCN this year due to some classes I would be taking at work, but it wasn't until two days ago that I received positive confirmation that I would be enrolled in the classes. So no FCN for me this year.
AC: I wanted to attend at least one other convention between MFF 2011 and MFM 2012. The aforementioned classes knocked a few others out of contention, and once all factors were taken into consideration, the one that arose as the best candidate was none other than Anthrocon, so I'm making plans to attend. It will be my first time attending AC. Current plan is to travel by Amtrak, which would have me arriving about 5am Friday and departing about midnight Sunday night. I still need to work out rooming arrangements. If anyone has a hotel room reserved and has space for me Friday and Saturday nights, please give me a shout back.
MFM: I have a room reserved. No confirmed roommates, though I've extended an invitation to one other person who may or may not be able to attend. Otherwise, looking for 1-3 others to roomshare with. Give me a shout if interested.
MFF: No more specific plans at this time other than that I'm planning to attend.
