fuckity. I knew this would happen.

Upside: friend's b-day party went well. Mostly. She was depressed that half the night went well and some of the plans went pear-ended the latter half. Over which she became a little black raincloud despite the fact that people had fun.

Downside: came back at 6am. Was dead to the world until 2pm. Puttered around apt cleaning up whirlwind that was yesterday and it occurred to self to go to cafe to check internet at around 4:45pm.

[livejournal.com profile] vividcon's already sold out.

...

Yeah, I kinda had a feeling this would happen when I heard tickets were going to be up on Saturday.

[edit] I am on aim right now. DISTRACT ME FROM REGISTERING ON WAITLIST AGAIN. (have already done so twice)

*hugs* Sorry. Is there anyway you can do a late registration and check to see if anyone cancels?

This makes me very sad. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes for you. ::hugs hard::

I don't know the specific numbers, but there are always some cancellations that allow some waitlist folks to get spots. Hang in there!

I managed to get in on the waitlist last year, and I didn't register until after Escapade!

There is hope!

Also, I was told I was in three weeks before the con last year, so I probably got in because other people on the waitlist had to default at such short notice, so.

Oh, sweetie. *hugs*

My best advice is just to plan like you are going. Block off the time, shop for plane tickets, find roommates, etc.

There were a lot of people who dropped out last year. People sign up with the hope they can go, and there are lots of not-so-awful life reasons that cause people to skip. There will be movement on the wait list, and the later it happens the more likely it is that other people on the waitlist won't be able to go because they have given up hope.

Don't give up hope. Stay positive and plan like you are going and you *will* go. I can think of at least four people who attended in 2005 who got in off the waitlist, and I wasn't even paying particular attention to that.

I am believing you will be there. So it must happen.

OMG I WAS TOTALLY UP AT 9:00 THIS MORNING, I WOULD HAVE REGISTERED FOR YOU.

That said, I registered for [livejournal.com profile] fashes, since she didn't want to wake up early. She said you could have her spot if you missed the chance to register.

{{{{hugs of sympathy}}}}

But I have a very, very good feeling that you'll be with us. Because. *nods*

A lot of people cancel - especially considering that they all registered so fast this year. You are coming. I will sit here and wish for it until it becomes true.

Hhhhhm, I come from a long line of gypsies.......I am getting an image...it is a bit faint....wait, yes, now I can see more. It is you, sitting in the Premiere Vid Show with a very happy smile on your face. Although why you are not wearing any....(ooops wrong vision. So sorry).

Just dropped by to say that if your offerings get Coyo writing SGA, I will have your babies. Seriously.
