Steve 580, let's just say my new motto is GO BIG OR GO HOME. This is just about the craziest thing I have ever done (think I'm having a mid-life crisis or something), but sometimes you just have to say 'what the f***'. By the way, you hail from Maryland, right? I'm just north of Baltimore...

PsychicRiver, I am looking forward to coming over to your neck of the woods in about a year from now...have never been and have always dreamed of coming, so I've got a two-week dream trip planned...wouldn't it be great if it happened to coincided with next year's Serenity2(3?) con? You'll have to give me some tips when I see you at the Flan!

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

Corncobrob, go to www.boosterevents.com You'll see all the details. Don't worry, you don't have to be a total fangirl like me and break your bank account to hang with our BDH's....

Jet lag shouldn't be too much of a problem. The excitement will be enough.

Also, there's a lovely thread in the booster events thread (Its actually PR's thread) that some people have suggested some things to keep jet lag away. ( http://www.boosterevents.com/Default.aspx?tabid=89&g=posts&t=721 )

Some of the suggestions were to not take a nap right when you arrive, drink water on the plane, and go to sleep at the local time.

FF - Well, that's cool; it’s been my experience that spontaneous, crazy stuff is usually a lot of fun. I spent about $2000 last summer to go to Europe last minute (as in, I bought the ticket two weeks before I left...I didn’t have a passport, and I’d never previously left the time-zone).

And yeah, I'm from Riverside, which, unless you live in Riverside, you've probably never heard of (it's just south of Aberdeen). You said just north of Baltimore...Harford County, then? Or less north than that?

Steve, you're right, I've never heard of Riverside, but I do know where Aberdeen is; my parents volunteer at a resort-type place in North East.

I'm in Timonium...JUST north of the beltway off of I-83.

Are you flying out of Philly or BWI?
