Anyone onBoard who's been by Iximaz on 2014-03-30 04:21:00 UTC Reply

or will be going to Wizard World Comic Con in Louisville? Tomorrow is the last day and I thought it would be cool if any other Boarders would be attending. So, anyone?

Sadly... no. by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-31 13:26:00 UTC Reply

I'm on the east coast, and am in school. The next con near me is Boston anime, where I will be Miku.
As my school is awesome and we did "Dress up as our favorite singers day" on Friday, my costume is already done.

You're in Boston? by Lily Winterwood on 2014-03-31 17:13:00 UTC Reply

I'm also in school in Boston. I think there was talk about a Boston Gathering, which would be greaaaaaaaat!

Boston PPC gathering? by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-31 17:14:00 UTC Reply

That would be so awesome!

Okay, it has to be a thing. by Lily Winterwood on 2014-03-31 17:15:00 UTC Reply

Seriously, any takers? I really want to work this out because I've never really met any PPCers IRL.

Definitely me. by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-31 17:16:00 UTC Reply

I might end up bringing my parent along, but if it happens on a school I could because I go to school near BU.

Well, I go to Wellesley, so... by Lily Winterwood on 2014-03-31 17:19:00 UTC Reply

I was thinking something along the lines of like, meeting at the MFA and going to go see the pretty paintings. And I'm totes fine with having a parent tag along. I'm so much more sarcastic in real life. ;P

That would be fun! by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-31 17:23:00 UTC Reply

May not be able to happen until next year, that's when school starts and I can do it alone. Now, it would be along the lines of we make plans and I convince parents to go to MFA. Any other PPCers you know to be in the Boston area?

I know firemagic's been thinking to visit Wellesley. by Lily Winterwood on 2014-03-31 17:54:00 UTC Reply

So she might be persuaded to join us at the MFA or wherever. Though I imagine she might also have parental tagalongs.

...but the college I might be attending next year is in Worcester, which, IIRC, isn't too far from Boston. My ability to go there depends on several factors (financial aid and my fear of commitment being two predominate ones, seeing as it it's my top school), but if I do end up going there, I would definitely find a way to get myself to a PPC Gathering in Boston.

And part of the reason I love the school is because I love Boston - I went there for a summer program through my church and I got to basically live there for three weeks. Before the program started, my family visited MFA and well, if we meet up there I would be quite excited.

So that's a definite maybe. If I can go to the school, I will get myself to the MFA for a PPC gathering.

Congrats on getting into this mysterious college! by Lily Winterwood on 2014-04-01 02:54:00 UTC Reply

If you do end up going, Worcester's about 45 minutes from Wellesley, which makes it about an hour and a half out of Boston. Either way, it'd be super exciting if you can come!

Ehehe, that was a bit vague. by hermione of vulcan on 2014-04-01 13:23:00 UTC Reply

It's Clark University. It's a midsize liberal arts college with an emphasis on making social change.

Sheer random luck, away!

Sorry about that. (nm) by hermione of vulcan on 2014-04-01 14:24:00 UTC Reply

That would be cool! by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-31 17:56:00 UTC Reply

We can discuss the pretty pictures/geeky stuff.
I'm taller than you'd think.

Me, I live in the land of ice and snow, which has... by DawnFire on 2014-03-30 20:27:00 UTC Reply

...been melting lately, actually. Unfortunately, I'm fairly sure that Louisville is located in the other land of ice and snow, that is, the US, and so I can't really get there easily.

Have fun, though! Wizard World, hm? What sort of wizards show up there?

Good Lord, that's in Kentucky! by DawnFire on 2014-03-30 20:29:00 UTC Reply

Never been to Kentucky. Wouldn't mind going, actually. Haven't got a plane ticket or place to stay, though, so I'm afraid I won't be making this particular Con. :)

(Yes, Kentucky sounds somewhat exotic to me. Shhhh.)

It's really not all that great. by Iximaz on 2014-04-01 11:26:00 UTC Reply

There's a bit of a joke around here: if you don't like the weather in the Ohio River Valley, wait five minutes and it'll probably change. Yesterday morning the temperature was below freezing, but by the afternoon it was in the 70s.

We do have a llama ranch near my house though, so that's still really cool to me, even though I've seen it almost every day on my way to school.

I live halfway across the world in a patch of desert lots of people think is very important for some weird reason.

It's too far away for me. But I am going to Otafest in Calgary (Yaya Han is going to be there squee!). Sorry, I think your pretty cool and it might be nice to meet the other boarders in public
