Fourth Street: Not quite a free plug

In a universe where I had more time and energy, I would likely be going to the Fourth Street Fantasy Convention, revived after a hiatus. I didn't hear about the original series, and how cool they are, until they stopped happening.

In this universe, well, I'm debating whether I can go to Wiscon. On the other hand, in the course of writing the previous couple of sentences, I'm reminded that while Fourth Street isn't on a holiday weekend, it is in a city I can get a direct flight to, which reduces the possible hassle. (I spent Friday of last Wiscon in the Detroit airport, after my flight was cancelled for mechanical difficulties.) So maybe I will go: Memorial Day in Boston with Adrian and then Fourth Street a month later?

The reason this is "not quite a free plug" is that elisem is holding a contest, in which anyone who points out that 4th Street is happening and is definitely open to anyone interested has a chance of winning a gift certificate for some of her cool stuff. The con is June 20 - 22, 2008 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which will not be remotely snowy by then.

[Friends are welcome to tell me whether/why they think my skipping Wiscon and going to Fourth Street is a good idea.]
