I have tickets for Minicon, which will get me to Minneapolis Thursday evening, staying through Sunday. This is, of course, subject to change if--as I hope--I'm employed by then. Best case, the new employer will let me take the Friday as unpaid time off, or make it up the following weekend, or such. Next best, I can change the tickets. Worst case scenario, I'm out $5 and a bunch of frequent flyer miles. It seemed like a reasonable risk to take, after having paid real money to go to Wales over New Year's because the frequent flyer tickets were all gone by the time I made up my mind.

(My husband will be in the area, but he's not much of a reader, and we therefore think he probably wouldn't have a whole lot of fun at Minicon in some ways. And since the OSO and I are partly using Minicon as a convenient excuse to get a hotel room so we can have private time with each other, there are other benefits to the husband not around. (Otherwise, I'd have to drive him home each night ot something, which would be problematic.))
So I hope stuff works out :)
