So... with about a month left before the event, and a week till pre-reg... does anyone know of people who are looking for people to share a room with.  I fully intend to get there, one way or another, but a room to myself is a harder hit than I can really afford in my currently underemployed state.

I need about 50 pine cones for a christmas project.  The larger the better. 
Does anyone have trees with large cones, that wants to bring me some?
Pleeeeease?

oaken_glen posted a link to the fail boat and I just had to share the story behind it.

Keeping my private life private

It has been brought to my attention that it would be wise to control who reads about my life, scintilating read that it is.

If you know me, and want to be included in the sharing... friend me, and I'll probably return the favor if I recognize you. Or comment here I suppose, though personally I think the reciprocal sharing may be the better answer.
