Not going to Bitching Party. : (

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.
