Older than the hills but younger than John McCain.

*laughs*

And you better convince frayach to come, oh yes.

[norton_gale]

Virtually everyone is younger than McCain. :)

Feel free to help convince frayach! I think a little peer pressure would do it.

[bewarethesmirk]

frayach well...or at all, really. I know the name from amazing fics. ;-) But I have no problem with pressuring anyway!

When you're in a pinch, there's a good chance coffeejunkii, kriken and I will have crash space on our floor. So if there's a late night (um, there definitely will be) you can stay over. :D

[_pinkchocolate]

Dude, that would be awesome. I don't doubt the part about the late nights -- I've heard all sorts of stories about the parties at HP cons. *will definitely be taking you up on your offer* :D

[bewarethesmirk]

You're also welcome to party with us. My roommates and I will probably be crashing the party hanging out with nqdonne too, and we are going to have lots of fun treats. *g*

Name/LJ handle: bewarethesmirk. My RL name is Stephanie, or just "Steph" will suffice. ;-)
Age (optional :D): I'll be 23 on June 3. :)
Traveling from: Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Writer/Artist/Reccer/Reader? Writer and reader, predominantly. I rec and beta and squee and serve as a newsletter editor for snapenews, remus_news, and daily_snitch
Years in Fandom? Hmm, I read my first fic (Draco Veritas) at the insistence of a co-worker in Feb 2005. My co-worker was sequeeing about slash, and I had no idea what she was talking about. My response when being told about m/m pairings was less than positive. So, now three amazingly insightful years and several failed het OTPs later, here we are. (I used to be very, very conservative and was indoctrinated with all kinds of shit. That, to say the least, has changed due to a variety of factors.)
Other cons attended, if any: Lumos, Phoenix Rising, and Sectus.
Day and time you're arriving: I really don't know right now. I've had some scheduling conflicts as related to school come up and it really sucks.
Other meet-ups at Terminus you'd

[nqdonne]

Hmmm... Airtran has a flight BACK from Chicago Midway to Charlotte on the 11th, leaving at 7 p.m. and arriving in NC at 12:15 a.m. for $121. They don't appear to have ANY flights on August 6th or 7th, which is mind boggling, but if you snagged the return for only $121 and found a comparable fare on another airline to get there, you could swing $250-$300 round trip. I paid $300 round trip from Boston in February, so that's not bad.

And *blushes*... thank you! No one ever cites me on their favorites list :P <3

[bewarethesmirk]

I usually fly out of Raleigh/Durham (RDU airport) but Charlotte is only a two hour drive...so if it turns out to be cheaper, I might do that. I know Airtran is a better pick financially. :D

I'll see what I can do. I need to know more about dates for my school shit first before I can make any airline commitments. God, I've I'm really in a bind, I'll fucking drive to Chicago. *g* 13 hours, w00t!

And *blushes*... thank you! No one ever cites me on their favorites list :P <3

Aww. I wasn't doing it to suck up. ^^ I really do love your work.

[_pinkchocolate]

You could always try Southwest, too. I just checked and it looks like you can get a nonstop round trip ticket between RDU and Midway for about $230.
