Have fun at FC? Gonna find your way out to AC, maybe?

FC was a blast, but I think that anthro-Con will have to be a "just for fun" trip and not a working trip. First, because I'm sure their Artist Alley and Dealer's Den are already full up, and second, 'cuz I bet those spots are EXPENSIVE. :) Also, being on the other side of the country, it makes for an interesting decision as to how to get there: planes trains or automobiles.

I think the den is full by noaws, yeah. As for how to get here, I suggest trains. It'd probably be about as expensive as any other method, but you get to see the great scenery and don't need to do the driving (and that'd take a week! I've done it--route 66 is purdy, but a one-time deal, after about 6 days you're like, "ok, enough of this I just want to get there").

Hmmm, a train trip could be pretty nice, and both Kani and I could get to see all the pretty landscapes go by. He misses out on a lot of the gorgeous stuff I spot because he's stuck having to concentrate on the road.

YusYus.

If you go by train, Amtrak runs a route with one transfer in Chicago to Pittsburgh which is the fastest and cheapest with two nights, and I recommend you get a sleeper roomette... if you have two people for the cabin it's about $400 one way, meals are included, and you have access to the lounge car ($214 each person one way with just coach seats, but you pay for your meals, no lounge car, and it's hard enough sleeping in the roomette beds... trying to sleep in the coach chairs would suck)

I just checked Amtrak and you would need to leave Monday evening and would arrive Thursday morning
(and apparently the roomettes on the first leg are already sold out if you were to take the train home as well and leave the con for home on Monday...)

Ouch. Nice that meals would be included, though- do they have a vegetarian menu, I wonder? I'll eat meat, sometimes, but Kani is veg. The only problem would be that the Con itself is something like three-to-five days, add in the four days (round-trip) and it's definitely something Kani would have to ask for vacation-time for. Not sure if we could do that, when we could get a plane ticket w/return for around the same price and be there in a day... He's most likely to go for that option, I think. And I don't want him having to drive across the country, living on energy drinks to stay awake, since he's the only one who can drive right now (I don't have a license, yet). Mind you, we still haven't had our honeymoon... Heh...

I believe you can specify any dietary restrictions before hand, like you can on an airplane. The menus should be listed for the trains, too.

I just remember that the garlic flat iron steak I had for dinner when I took the zephyr up to Oregon last year was the tenderest, yummiest steak I ever ate, ever. (hey, when meals are included, why not pick the most expensive option?)

looking at Amtrak's site again, there's a veggie burger lunch option, a vegetarian pasta dinner option, and breakfast includes traditional options like french toast and pancakes, so it looks like there's at least one non meat option for every meal

Sweet! Thanks for the info! *plots to convince her mate of the idea of a nice, leisurely train trip...*

*glomps the silver draggy* raaawrs! It is awesomeness and Murra is even more awesomeness in person! I spent a long time just chatting with her and logjamming the table there XD

Oooh yeah, I kept trying to drag him away from your table so people could actually get a look at your stuff, but it wasn't working!!! He just sat there, staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare~! and Blaaaaaaaaaaaa~!

I blame it on the tails and awesome art plus what better than to socialize once your broke!

Dang dragons, kept making this scaly wall the customers couldn't get through! *giggles and hugs you both* And I ain't silver, hon- I'm an opal dragoness. >^____^<

I meant that to Draco XD he is the Silver drake! but for good measure..*winghugs!* I never run out of hugs and pounces =)

I wasn't sure of that, thus the "I'm an opal" comment. Hugs are always a good thing, unless you need deodorant (don't worry, you were fine). *giggles*

And the tails were pretty popular. I'd better have more, and in more variety of styles and materials, for next year!

Glad ya had a good time hun! I ADORE that badge gonna have to get one now. Also i should have tail payment by the end of next month. Sorry things took another finacial downturn *sighs*

No worries on that tail monies- I can wait a bit. If you want a badge, just let me know when you'd like it for, and I'll start scribbling. These are traditional work- and now that I'm back where my markers all are, it should be stronger-coloured than this one (there will be coloured-pencil accents and soft lines on top, though).

How much would it be dear?

I was asking only $20 for them at the Con, but that's a lower convention price artists use to get folks to buy 'em. I think I wouldn't go above $25, even off-site of a convention, personally (unless it was a realistic sort of painting).

I just love the look of this and your style. I will get the tail payed off first though as i dream of wearing it!

Awesomeness!

Heh, Murrahnated.... <3

*giggles* Yup! When Tails heard I was putting her joke on the badges she had a huge grin on her face.

Oh yes, I can only imagine :) hehe. Seen her around in person lately?

Bumped into her at FC this weekend, actually. She was still purring"Murrahnated..." at me whenever she got a chance. *giggle*

lol, awesome *huggles*

*purrs and huggles back*

lol sounds like a bad thing. x3
But this is far too cute! :P -overloads-

Actually, it's a joke one of my guests at my wedding to said. She's a cute little person. *chuckles* Think of being "marinated" in a good time, then stick my name in there...

Oh, haha xD
You need to tell us these jokes. You've got alooooooot of inside jokes. :P

You gotta be kidding me! I think that one is my one and only at the moment! *giggles* It's pretty simple, though- just a play on my name, really. >^___^<

lol okaaaay x3

>:~ *sticks out her long tongue at you with a chuckle*

-sticks out his long, black tongue back- Nyeeeeh :P

*wriggles hers with a giggle*

-curls his up- :P

*chuckle*

Does this mean I win? :o

If ya want it to. *chuckles and wriggles her long tongue some more, just 'cuz*

Woot! -hugs- ^^

*chuckles and hugs you back*
