Seattle in April!

I have now bought tickets for bitchinparty! Yay!

I'll arrive on the evening of the 31st of March and leave on the afternoon of the 11th of April. The reason I'm staying so long is that I want to have enough time before the con that I won't be half dead of jet lag, and it feels stupid to fly halfway across the world just for a weekend.

So if any of you Seattle people want to hang out with me, I would love to do that, and the same if anyone else is staying before or after the con. I also have acquaintances in Seattle from the time my family lived there, and I hope they remember me enough for me to visit them.

I'm planning to return to places that I have fond childhood memories of, such as Pike Place Market, the Burke Museum and Baskin-Robbins ice-cream. And I definitely want to spend some time doing nature stuff--for example, I might go out to the Olympic Peninsula for a couple of days. I would love to get advice on other places to go, though. Although keep in mind that I'm kind of limited by not having a driver's license.

Right, now I'm going to an entomological film festival. Yes, really.
