can't sleep, con will eat me?

[kitanzi]

Somehow, this always happens. The night before a con I wake up early and can't get back to sleep, just too excited and/or anxious. (Packing, flights, etc) So, yeah, woke a couple times during the night, which is fairly standard lately, and the last time couldn't get back to sleep. I gave up right about four, so here I am. It's the end of a long dry spell of no cons today! Pretty damn broke, but how can we miss OVFF? It will always be our anniversary.

Still, maybe a nap when we get there... I just can't wait to see so many people, many of who I haven't seen since, well, at least Gafilk in January (our last US con) and most since before that. It's been a long time between cons this time.

Welcome to the Insomnia Club!

Geez, it doesn't help that my bro wants me to shlep him back from the auto mechanics at 7 this morning.

Nap in the afternoon. Yes.

but how can we miss OVFF? It will always be our anniversary.

*hug* I understand ... we feel that way about FilkCONtinental, which wasn't always easy, cuz we definitely could make it only every second year (consequently, every second year OVFF was a no go for me - this year being the off year anyway, but I will miss you all terribly nevertheless!!!)
Have a wonderful wonderful con, dear!
And I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again around New Year and for GAFilk ... :)

I'm looking forward to that too! :) *hug*

There are no conventions under your bed. Trust me on this :-)

Have a great time! Unfortunately, kyttn and I can't be there - life has been very crazy for us lately.

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

You will both be very much missed. Give each other hugs for me ok? :)

Ummmm.... how do you know? *G*

[sdelmonte]

I'm the same - up since 3 am, in fact. I never sleep well before traveling or before cons.

Can't wait to see you and Rob.

Have fun! If this weren't a Brittany Weekend, I would have been tempted to drive the four hours down to say howdy, but alas. Maybe next year. *hugs*

Safe travels and Happy Anniversary!

Hope to see you and ACat there (he's going too, right?) and get some face time in. It's been too long. (GaFilk was my last con too.)

It was a great weekend, and it was very good to see you again. Hopefully the next time won't be a year from now!

*hugs* As a matter of fact, we got down there and I told Rob it would have been great if we could have gotten you to come along - then he told me you told him exactly what you have above. Maybe next year? That would be a great time, I think.

thank you! We had a good trip and a great weekend.

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, we were both there. Somehow, though, everytime I saw you to say hi you seemed to be going the other way...?

[poltr1]

Unfortunately, yes. I was probably chasing after my daughter. I'd get the evil eye from R if I stayed and chatted with people.

As always, there was never enough time to sit down and chat face-to-face with the people I wanted to (including you and Rob).

Ah, I see! (By the way, love your icon!)

Thanks! It's the logo from the old Oberheim Electronics. They made synths from the early 1970s to the mid 1980s.
