Feelin' fine....

George RR Martin will be in Denver starting tomorrow, at Denvention 3, a sci-fi/fantasy convention. I want to go for the following reasons:

1. Owning an autographed copy of one of his books would be awesome,
2. This is probably the only time ever that GRRM will be within an hour's reach of me
3. It'd be fun to see the kinds of crazies that go to these sorts of things, and
4. It might be fun.

The following reasons are why I don't want to go:

1. I'd be going to something called "Denvention" which disturbs me to the core,
2. Denver is far away (relatively speaking) and I don't like going there,
3. If I go to see the crazies at the convention, and I'm at the convention, that makes me a crazy by association,
4. I doubt anyone else would want to go with me, and
5. It might be no fun at all.


On an unrelated note, here's the premiere schedule for a bunch of shows I'm excited about. I'm listing them here because I just spent the last 20 minutes at work slacking off and needed something to distract me:

- Entourage starts September 7th
- Survivor: Gabon airs September 17th
- The Office season 5 premieres on September 25th
- Dexter season 3 starts on September 30th, so our cat will actually get to see his namesake soon

Although I will not be attending this with you, I think you should go. Denver is not really far at all and it is pretty easy to get around once you know a few key streets. Use this opportunity to see an author you like, see some weirdos, and learn about the city. Win win (win).

I'm thinking it could make sense to make the Survivor/Office/Softball Thursday into a trifecta, generally play the game then go back to someone's house and watch the shows.

I think this is an excellent idea. It'll have to be a place w/ DVR though
