My sister and I just registered for this convention. We actually live in North Texas-close enough to drive to the Hilton every day and save some money, but we decided to book a hotel room anyway for the full fan experience. Have to do it right, if we're doing it!

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hey, I live in North Texas too! I was almost afraid my parents would just ask me to stay home and drive to Portus each day, but luckily they're letting me stay at the Hilton. It's all for the full fan experience. ^_^ I'm pretty new at this too, I've never been to a con before.

I'm so excited for Golden Compass too...I may be watching it at midnight, if all goes well. Have you read the His Dark Materials trilogy?

I've also got a Vlog on youtube--just search SKS vlog and you should find it. It's in seven parts, but the best is the bloopers at the end. (Around 5:50 of Part 7). It needs some work, but someday it may be a decent vlog.

I'm so excited to go to this event!! I've totally never done anything like this!
