I'm here once in a while. What do you expect? Nothing gets planned anymore because everybody is too busy battle Darth Real Life, I guess.  |

Hi everyone!
I start college again a month from this coming Saturday.
My roof is still leaking in the bedroom. This has been going on since October 2005. I called my attourney and he will be writing a letter to my management company about this.
I haven't done anything Star Wars related since I the last time I went to Dragon*Con. There was another Star Wars In Concert concert at Foxwoods that my friend and her husband went to, and they loved it!!

I hope you can come back to D*C sometime... maybe next year? We're going to try to have a TJA "presence" next year... with C-V this year it's not gonna happen. Best of success with school! |

D*C is on the schedule next year. If I don't have any disasters like I've had in past years, I would like to go to D*C one last time.
College classes start on 9/07, and I have 1 class this and next semester. April is the entrance exam for the AAS RN program.
After that, I'll be busier than a Jedi hiding from Order 66. The 1st year of the RN program isn't too bad. It's the second year that kills students because you have Practicals on Saturdays Fall Semester and Sat. & Sun. Spring Semester.
Money will be the big problem because it costs me an initial
$1000 US to get to Hotlanta (transport costs and motel room). If I can Force Jump that barrier, then I can be part of that TJA Presence.

Hi Cal,
Check into catching the Amtrak Carolinian from NYC to Charlotte, than transferring to whatever goes from Charlotte to Atlanta. It's tons cheaper than a plane and can be the difference between going to a con and having to sit one out. And, if you are a student, you can get a student discount card from Amtrak for $20 - good for a year - that will save you 15% off any ticket. That's how I got to and from school and home 1 weekend a month. It was cheaper to take the train than drive.

Good suggestion! See, Cal, we're trying to get you here. You do need to come in 2011. (I can't go this year either....  ) |

I'm taking Amtrak this year, was cheaper than flying & no baggage fees or much limit either. Amtrak goes from NY direct to Atlanta, the Crescent. They're way more comfy than the plane too. Tix are cheaper if you get them several weeks in advance, & w/ student discount, very reasonable.

Since I won't get to attend DC this year, lets meet up on the train next year and arrive together. Make it a moving party. ;D

How long will the train ride take? I have to take Metro-North to Grand Central, then take the subway to Penn Station to get Amtrack.
All the while dragging 2 suitcases all over the place......and I'm not a big fan of the MTA.
D*C is Labor Day Weekend, and classes begin the Tuesday after Labor Day Monday.
