Cunning Plans for HP Night, plus WorldCon '06

[azurelunatic]

I have the Cunning Plan to discuss with the other newish check-in chick re: the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince release on 7-16. I'm covering for her this Sunday morning, or something like that -- or she's covering for the other girl in the afternoon, and I'm covering for her in the morning, or something like that.

But what I want is potentially for her to cover for me on Saturday, and I'll take another shift on Tuesday or something to make up for my hours, so I can go to the party on Friday night and sleep in on Saturday.

I'm so very geeky. I have knitting needles. Maybe I can knit myself a Slytherin scarf, because I'm sneaky-snaky enough to wear one, and even though I'd actually Sort to Ravenclaw, I do have Slytherin yarn on hand, and gods know I have enough actual Slytherin friends to pawn it off on at a con or something for something appropriate in trade.

In future plans, I may well wind up at the 2006 WorldCon in LA. I'm thinking about it tentatively right now, and I'm planning that yeah, it's probably going to happen. I like cons, and John and the E should be there!

Anyone else going?

Of course, I've never actually /been/ to a con before...

I think you'll probably enjoy it.

Hopefully!

I want to get supporting memberships before the prices go up, and then pay it rest of it off over the year. US$150 for membership now sounds pretty nice (considering that WorldCon 2005 membership is now UK£150 - ~US$270). And if we save money now, we might be able to afford to rent that convertible! (An extra US$200, plus twice the petrol used.)

A shame you couldn't come to Glasgow...

(My first WorldCon! Whee! And count me in on every one (or so) from 2008 or perhaps 2007.)

If the Troll and I have moved to the west coast by then (which is distinctly possible), we'll likely go. :)

Oh! Hooray!

Should everything work out as planned-ish, I intend that I shall be one of the plump brunettes, and wearing pilgrim's ribbons in the Bastard's colors.

[azurelunatic]

Hooray!

You know, I rather think I'd sort to Slytherin. Especially at 11, I *know* I would have. Possibly Ravenclaw, but at 11...I dunno. It's a toss-up, really. I was more *proud* of my intelligence, but I wasn't *sure* about it. And I was habitually sneaky. And a thief, quite a bit.

It's not about knowing, it's about being seen to know. It's not about being good, it's about being better.
