It's official, Carol Stacy mentioned it in an email today. RT 2012 will be in Chicago. Good news for the midwesterners for travel. It's just about 2 hours south of me. I'll up-date when I find out the hotel.
Good thing I made plans to go to NOLA for Halloween this year. I'll be going to the Vampire Ball and the UNDEAD con. Who wants to join in on the fun?

Just found a mention on the internet for RT 2012 in Chicago on April 11 - 15. Are those dates the real ones? I am making sure my daughter doesn't decide to get married the same weekend as RT. (Although the wedding is going to be in Chicago, so maybe y'all can come! Ha)
Sad it is not in NOLA. I have never been and was looking forward to going somewhere new. Been to Chicago a million times, lived there for a while, my daughter and sister live there. But I still want to go to RT 2012!! And this time, I am going for the whole thing and getting a room in the conference hotel.

Since I've never been to RT how much does everything cost so I know how much to save.

^LMFAO, Vampy. Jen, it's expensive. But soooo worth it if you can afford it. You saw our pictures, right? AMAZING. First of all, you meet all your favorite authors, go to parties, parties, parties. But the best part of all, to be honest, was the VPeeps. We're like long lost best friends. I laughed 'til I cried. No b.s. At one point, at lunch, Vicki said something about it being a true testament to what good people we were that we could just meet and be instantly best friends like we were. I was like, "It's you. You attract good people!" (For the most part. Not mentioning any names...)  I love those girls and would open my home to them in a heartbeat. Miki and I shared a cab and we just about died laughing at NOTHING. In a taxi. RT provides you with constant entertainment, but VPeeps wouldn't need it because we sit in hallways and entertain ourselves. We may get strange looks but that's because WE STRANGE!  My divorce is putting me DEEPLY into debt, but I'm going to try my hardest to go now that it's within driving distance to me. Once you go, you're hooked. Yes, you get TONS AND TONS of freebies. More than you can imagine. You meet so many people that you'll never be able to remember them all. You attend workshops, dinners and parties that are full of interesting, informative and fun things. But, for me, the best part was the friendships. Mah girls. That's priceless. I can't wait to do it again. |

Let's get the VPeep van loaded for a road trip to Chi-town. I am pumped about Chicago...even though it is over a year away. MMMMMMM...crab rangoon even better than T's. Uh oh, I might as well be a zombie...I am dead to her again. LOL!
Those are the dates, Skitty....although one year(Houston '07) they did change them, but it was before any one made flight plans. Once they sign the contract for the hotel, it'll be written in stone.

I'm 99.999% sure I'll be there. Can't guarantee Stan will make it though, and probably not Ailish. She won't be able to miss classes.
Raven, you said it so well. I felt like we were all childhood friends reunited! Being with you guys made it a gajillion times more fun!

Does the price include a room?

Nope, rooms are separate. It is an expensive Con, but worth every penny (to me anyway).
