Quick Post from NY
Mar. 17th, 2009 10:50 pmAs you may have figured out by now, I'm in NY for Spring Break right now. While being awake and not tired at hours when I really should be asleep (except that I'm still on L.A. time) I just managed to catch up on my friends list here so I thought I'd make a quick post (besides, I wanted to see if the LJ way of posting to Facebook works so I can use my Notes section for Rockers Online instead).
Last Sunday I went to the 40th Anniversary of the Science Fiction Forum at Stonybrook and had a great time! I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time, although some I would have really liked to have seen were strangely absent (even a couple that lived locally). I even took a few pictures, which I posted here on Facebook. BTW, for the LASFS members out there the Science Fiction Forum is a lot like LASFS, just with students:).
Over the next few days I'm trying to meet up with a few friends I haven't seen in a long time, and then Friday I head up to Lunacon to see even more people. It should be a fun time! I was sorry to miss last year when they returned to the Escher Hilton, so I'm glad I could make it this year (and it's still there).
Well, I'm finally starting to get a little tired so I think I better get to sleep:).

Re: 40th
Date: 2009-03-19 06:13 am (UTC)I got lucky since this week happened to be Spring break so I was flying out here anyway. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have made it on that short notice! Yeah, I've been really happy with Virgin America. Technically they were only supposed to allow changes within 24 hours and it had been 3 days, but when I explained the situation they figured out a way, which was really nice of them! I already wouldn't fly another airline if I had a choice, and this confirmed it. They have games and free TV on the touch screen in front of the seats, power outlets on all the seats, etc. I even hear they have WiFi on some flights now!
Thanks!
