well, given the fact that there is still no OFFICIAL word about the dates for Fan Faire (yes, they did say, "keep an eye on the last weekend of June", but that's no offical to me until they actually say "Fan Faire is from <this date> to <that date>"), I quite possibly will not be attending this year. if SOE gets the dates out within the next couple of weeks, I MIGHT be able to attend, but it also depends on what schedule I'm working and all that.
Suffice it to say, while I would like to go this year, it looks like I will be unable to, unless I get really, REALLY lucky, and the stars and planets align properly and the portents of a miracle happen (in other words, chances are slim and none, and Slim's thinking about packing his stuff and heading on out the door).
