Not going to Bitching Party. : (

[luzula]

I have decided not to go to bitchinparty this year after all, for several reasons:

1) I have lots of teaching and can't get much time off, and it's not worth it to fly to the US just for a week. I'd hardly have time to get rid of the jet lag.
2) I've promised my sister to go cross-country skiing in the mountains with her, and Easter is really the only time I can get away.
3) I can have RL fannish company much closer now that I've discovered the wonderful Danish fan get-togethers. Taking the train to Copenhagen = easier than flying to Seattle.
4) I flew to Argentina last spring, and my environmental conscience won't really let me fly again so soon.

I'm sad that I won't get to see you all who are going, but, well, that's the way it is.

:-( Those are excellent reasons, but I will be very sad to miss you just the same.

[luzula]

Yes! I'm sad I won't get to meet you IRL.

[mizface]

we will miiiiiiiiiissssssssssss you! But those are excellent reasons *hugs*

[luzula]

I will miss you, too! *hugs*

[hazelwho]

=( I can't make it this year either. But hopefully I'll get to see you again next year.

[ride_4ever]

Aww, hazel...will miss seeing you there, too.

[luzula]

Yeah. BP 2016, here we come!

[ride_4ever]

Yes, that is certainly for reasons.

Sad that you won't be there this year, but I can still recall happily that we got to meet and hang out at my first BP...and firsts create really lasting impressions.

(Danish fan get-togethers...nice....)

[luzula]

Yeah, the reasons just got too compelling. But hey, there will be more cons!

[andeincascade]

Luz, I will miss you terribly. *weeps* No more flying until 2016!! More glad than ever we have our regular chats; maybe we can organize one to you at BP?

[luzula]

I will miss you, too! *clings*

I would love a group Skype call at BP, though, that would be great.

[calvinahobbes]

Now I feel like we have stolen you away from BP D: But hey, maybe in the future you can bring some of us to this fabled event. I really do want to go to the US for con-related purposes at some point!

[luzula]

No, no! The other reasons would've been enough. You guys are more like the compensation for not being able to go. : )

And yeah, maybe BP 2016? That would be great.

[troyswann.livejournal.com]

Aw, all good reasons, but we'll miss you!

[luzula]

Thanks! Yeah, I'll miss you all, but it just wasn't feasible this year. : (
