Megacon!

Yup, my geekiness *really* knows no bounds. I managed to get the finances together enough to buy plane tix to Tampa, so I can finally meet some of these Nightgig people I've been working with for, oh, 'bout two years now. That's the real reason for going -- we've got a table again this year, and I didn't get to go last time.

I waited around for Christmas money so I could afford to go, and said if I found tix for around $200/$225 I could go.

Well, guess what? ^_^ $203. Fees and everything.

So I'm going to be taking a vacation of sorts in the middle of the semester. I'm going to miss class. I'm not going to care. After the exam (Jan 22nd) I don't think I'll really care all that much, anyway. I will also be missing the annual conference put on at KU by the German grad students, it turns out, although the date I originally heard was in March, not conflicting with Megacon (which was the case last year, and I was one of the ones running the grad student conference). Had my plans made; not my fault. I've been there every other time (except when I was in Germany, of course), so they can deal. :P

... and I begin to plot...

... what I'm going to do with the money if I sell my car, since I've gotten a few calls today about it.  I had completely forgotten that I'd put an ad in the paper this weekend (today through Saturday) and was, well, *shocked* to get a phone call today.  Someone's (hopefully) coming in about half an hour too.  I got two bites today, right after each other, so it felt like I was going to be deluged with offers. ;)  That, of course, was not the case:  those were the only two calls.  Still, someone's interested, and if they can get more/better use out of my car than me, and they're willing to give me a little cashola for it, I'm fine with that.

But seriously, I could do a lot with the price of a car... even a 1999.
