As always I appreciate corrections, updates, and additions. In particular I am looking for information on conventions in Armarillo Texas or southern Wyoming. I suspect there are some and they are close enough by that they should be listed in Miffed. Also if anyone knows if Conduit is on or off for 2004 the information would be much appreciated.

Torcon

I can't remember. Are you planning to attend Torcon?

Re: Torcon

I cannot since my job will not let me have that weekend off. Bastards. I have been tried to get a new job mainly so I could tell my current one to sod off and I could go to Toronto, but no luck.

That's too bad, I was hoping to see you there. Does this mean though that there's still hope? If you find a job in the next month, might you still make it?

There is a very small chance, as small as being able to throw a letter through an envelope slot from 10 meters away, but it isn't quite zero. If I got a job and if they were either cool enough to let me go off for a week right away or else it started at the begining of Septemeber I could go. It would be strictly no frills, but I could do it. Now I feel like reading job listings online again.
