Summer Convention Plans: Fur Xoticon, AC and FAU

General
Should I rephrase this? Nah, nevermind. It's gonna get misinterpreted anyway.
Well school is finally letting out so I may as well reveal my intricately constructed plan for summer recreation that I definitely didn't just throw together yesterday afternoon!
Fur Xoticon is a new convention in West Springfield Massachusetts starting on May 27. This being their first year made me a little nervous, but I went to FurtheMore the first year and they nailed that one, so it can be done. Plus it's a much better drive than trying to swing GLFC. Here's hoping for the best on that one. It'll be tight moving home and then leaving again the following week, but with how much trouble I've had fitting cons into this summer it's a chance I can't really pass up. Being within driving distance is a huge decision-maker for me. I can’t overstate how swag it is to drive to a con.
Likely I don’t have to explain Anthrocon to anyone, but I’ll be there. And since I don’t have many demands on my time I’ll be getting there stupid early. Wednesday to Monday is the plan at the moment. I’ve been to this one a lot, so I know I can depend on a good time. It’s a great con for meeting people. So if you’re in town be sure to hit me up.
I’ve never been to FAU before, but I was asked if I’d like to man the Furthemore table there and I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse. The con has moved closer to me of late, so maybe this is my year. I’d like to give them a chance. Once again, them being within a good driving distance was a big factor in this one. It sounded too good to be true, and so of course it was. I came to find out that FAU is the same weekend as RMFC, so now I feel like a twit. I’d really hate to miss that one.
ryoken and 
nevir have always taken great care of me when I was in town and made that con a blast. That revelation has made that decision a lot more difficult. For one thing I’ve already committed to manning the table at FAU, and then there’s the $400 price difference thanks to not needing plane tickets, something that it’s difficult to ignore when one doesn’t have a job. Naturally my first thought upon saving some money is “Hey, if I don’t have to fly to Denver, maybe I can go to Megaplex!” Super responsible, as always. I’d heard good things about that con, and honestly the only strike against it is that it’s on the weekend adjacent to FAU. I’ve done two cons on consecutive weeks before. It’s rough. And both of those were within driving distance. I think flying to a con and then working at a con would be a bit much. Maybe give the summer boredom a chance to change my mind.
In any case, that’s the plan at the moment. Plans very seldom survive contact with reality, but they’re a good thing to have around. If your flimsy plan involves being at any of those locations, I’ll see you there. Maybe!
