I have decided (and undecided and decided and reversed and… and… and…) that going to Worldcon this year would not be a good idea for me.
I have a membership for the convention and need to sell it. I figured I would start here. I would rather pass it onto someone I know than some stranger.
Denvention
Denver CO
August 6-10th 2008
$175
The current price is $200 and after July 10th, only one day memberships will be available.
It looks like a great con. I just am not in a place where I can deal with the con, the heat in Denver early Aug and the other things I was planning to do when I was out there which put all this into motion.
Anybody want a membership?
Edit: D’oh, I unFriend locked this. I forgot that there are others that would be interested that aren’t on my Friends list. What do you mean I don’t know everyone like us?
Is there a time you would like to come out here?
I was really hoping to go meet LMB with you.
Also, are you sure?
I know that you are in a really bad space right now – but the heat is not bad at all this summer – and we do have a centrally air-conditioned house.
(((((((hug)))))))
Sadly, I am sure. It is a combo of things.
I am still burned out on cons and not looking forward to the actual convention.
I have seen LMB and Sharon Lee and Steve Miller and while I love their writing, seeing authors doesn’t really do much for me. Another favorite is going to be there, Tanya Huff.
I am not looking forward to the travel.
The main concept was to clean out my old room and it doesn’t have AC.
I am not all that social and don’t think I do well in large groups of people right now. This makes hanging out with old friends and meeting new con people more an exercise in frustration than a good thing.
I thought about rescheduling until fall/winter time but since I am having a horrible time keeping my current living space livable, I figured sorting through old stuff and packing some and getting rid of some is probably more than I can handle. Until my day to day living becomes smoother, cleaning up the past should wait.
I almost always feel I can do more than I get done. In this case I question if I can get it done. To me, that means it likely isn’t going to work.
I have a hard time letting go of the event. I have been planning it for some time. I am going to miss seeing you and one other person, visiting some old haunts and visiting my dentist. I did plan this for the last time I visited Colorado. Unless something changes for me, travel that takes more than a day via rail is over my limit.
So, am I going to see you when you are out here?
hello can we wrangle!
I’d be interested in your membership. I live in lodo and work at tattered cover and so am strapped for funds but feel I cannot pass up this opportunity. Would you be willing to wrangle a little or are you set on the price?
And yeah it’s been REALLY hot!
Re: hello can we wrangle!
I worked at the Tattered Cover one Xmas. Loved that job. Love that place.
I am not set on the price, I would like to be but I don’t have to be. What do you think you can afford?
Re: hello can we wrangle!
Is it an “attending” membership? How about $150? You could call me here at work. I’d say leave a message on my cel but I think I broke it. I contacted denvention and they said we need to do online transfer by friday-tomorrow. my personal email is dr.andreas@comcast.net and we can make arrangments.
Re: hello can we wrangle!

Re: hello can we wrangle!
the two messages below ARE from me but I forgot to sign in first.
Re: hello can we wrangle!
argh! just one more- it also turns out that I can’t access my home email at work today. This is the first time I’ve had difficulty accessing the site. So if you want to get hold of me before five via email try andrea.phillips@tatteredcover.com
P.S.- did we work together?- I’ve been with TC since 1993.
tried calling back
sorry i missed your voicemail yesterday.
I tried calling you at work today-do you work fridays?
I’m at the Tattered cover again till 5 tonight- I will check my Vmail, But do ask staff to page the colfax manager phone- then you wont have to leave a message.
Cheers and TGIF,
AndreaP
