Well, I just recieved my United Airlines tickets in the mail today.

I’m off to Gallifrey!!!

Gallifrey is the overseas con I love the most (http://www.gallifreyone.com/gallifrey.php)
it’s where I met some wonderful people, most of whom I still keep in contact with and it’s the reason I’ve got a few short story credits to my name. With a bit of piss in me, I’m a pretty decent schmoozer.

I didn’t go too this years Gally for various reasons (most of which having to do with money), and I wouldn’t be going to this one if it wasn’t for Mr Mileage Points. What a wonderful, glorious invention. 69,000 points I never knew I had (until I queried the nice customer service women) are flying me too LA. (Well, not the points exactly, I’m pretty sure there’s a plane involved).

The trip backs a bit of a bugger, I’m stuck in Christchurch for 8 hours. But I’m told that the city is quite nice, so I’ll probably wander around with my laptop, find a nice cafe and do the pretentious thing of writing while sipping coffee… ah… I can imagine it now.

Of course, the best con ever is Continuum (http://www.continuum.org.au) of which I am the esteemed and glorious Treasurer. The last two have been brilliant, and this one, with Neil and Poppy and Robin and the party man himself Richard Harland is going to be THE BOMB!!!!!!!
