Isn't the difference between the Saturday ticket and the Weekend ticket only like five bucks?  But yeah, you should totally come in on Sunday!  The hijinks shall continue!

Twenty bucks - and after my salary got reduced (company-wide), I'm getting to be even MORE of a cheap S.O.B.

.......... and it STILL isn't loading.

Ah, they must have increased the price as the event approached.  Are you or Sue in the city?  They sell tickets at Midtown Comics--one location is at 40th and 7th, just a few blocks from where we're having dinner.  And that way, you won't have to wait in line at the con to pick up your badge.

At this rate (STILL with the non-loading), we may have to do that, but Sue's down past Wall St. If this keeps up, I think I'm gonna call ahead to MTC and see if they can't hold some for us until we arrive.  :-\

I can see freakin' Manhattan from my front doorstep and it STILL takes a minimum of an hour to get there.

So are we setting up our Saturday NYCC attack strategy at the dinner tonight? Or will General Fae-cellie unveil an already-schemed plan?

See for me, three hours to just get to the city....never mind negotiating to get to where I need to go and I am NOT driving in NYC.  Soooo.....no dining in NY for me.

Okay, fixed. Thanks to you, Generous Fae-cellie, I can haz tikitz! MTC doesn't have any more weekend passes, but they assure me that there will be plenty of Saturday passes when we swing by this evening on our way to NOM. What's super cool about these guys is that they're selling them AT COST - no fee, nada (well, taxes, but that's fine by me).

Growl.  Brother Jimmy's may need to split us into two tables.  Currently working to keep us as one.

Aww... wish I had known about this earlier. Sounds like a lot of fun, and BBQ too!
Already have plans I'm afraid. Have fun everyone! Maybe I can partake next year, or at SDCC in July.

Ask and ye shall receive. (My apologies for less-than-stellar image quality; the camera's still new to me and I haven't ironed out all the wrinkles yet.)


Molly and Harry not at Burger King. (What you can't see is Harry's t-shirt: "Easter is cancelled - they found the body.")



Harry with what must be some seriously shielded tech in hand, Uilos and Marcone.



Molly (as her mild-mannered alter ego, Priscellie) and Harry generously reading a new chapter of Turn Coat for Butcherlings, passers-by in Penn Station and assorted homeless people.
