So, Valleycon has been an ever ellusive thing for the past several years. Cynara and Edgar and myself continually discuss going, especially when rumours of Whedonverse alumni attending run rampant, but we never seemed to make it there.

But after the let-down of the panelling at this year's Keycon, (don't get me wrong, folks. The partying was the bomb, and Brian looks to be much more on-the-ball about having a well rounded Keycon 2006), we really started to discuss it in earnest, especially given that the wonderful Julie Benz was a guest. Well, Edgar ended up too busy, and Cynara ended up too broke, and I ended up thinking I'd have no one to go with.

And then the wonderful XG stepped up to the plate with not only her car, but, and far more importantly, with her company! And plans were on....

XG and I travelled down on Friday night. Not knowing what to expect AT ALL con-wise, having never been to a con that wasn't Keycon, and being super-nevous about the multiple venue convention, I had made plans to meet up with some Winnipegers. Travis, who I'd only ever spoken to online, and his friends Ed, the author of Geek Tragedy, and Steve met us in the lounge of the host hotel at 7. I can't thank these guys enough!!! The con was awesome, but if it hadn't been for their company and hospitality, it would have been far less cool then it was.

I'll tell you all about it in the upcoming days, but I really just wanted to post this post and start pimping Ed's site. Geek Tragedy is the bomb, and it matches XG and I's sense of humour so perfectly that I am not at all surprised that we all got along so well.
