Convergence

inulroI am all kinds of excited about the Utah bid for C16 (version with drive-by troll comments included.)
Unfortunately I've just noticed the date - no, I'm not complaining about the price of flights - that's what pre-planning and sticking to a budget are for. It's smack in the middle of UK school holidays, which means co-worker with school-age children will likely be away. Low staffing levels mean that we can never have more than one of us away at a time. So, guess I need to find a new job before then.
Despite the fact that it's in no way sane, I'm trying to work out a way I can go to C15 in Long Beach (July is OK for me as school holidays don't start till August here). It would just be me, and I would be only going for C15 and not making a holiday of it. I know I always say I'm never going that far for 4 days because my body clock will never forgive me, but it's Convergence so I can just never acknowledge the 8-hour time difference at all. Or so I keep telling myself.
I recognise that I'm far more emotionally invested in this than is sane or sensible. And that it would be more feasible if I didn't keep doing things like today's retail therapy expedition. I can't even sell stuff, because I sold everything I own that I can get money for when I was out of work the other year.
So - before I get too involved in finding a way to make it happen, how many of you are going? Anyone willing to share a room? Rides from the airport etc?
