Last Minute Escapade Prep
Feb. 18th, 2004 09:02 pmIt's barely even 9 o'clock, but I probably should already be in bed. I have to get up at the ridiculous hour of 3:30--yes, that's A.-freaking-M.--so I can pick up ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stormheller and valentin and get us to the airport in time for our flight to L.A.
In recompense for that slight inconvenience, I finally get to attend Escapade. And the reason I probably won't be trying to get asleep for at least another hour is that I'm stilll madly pulling all the things I need to pack together.
DVD of editing examples for the vidding panel I'm running? Check.
VHS backup of same? Check.
Notes for said vidding panel? Check.
List of zines I own so I don't end up with doubles of something? It's gotta be here somewhere.
Sundry clothes and accoutrements? Spread all over my bleeding bedroom.
Now if I just had a focus for the LotR panel I volunteered to co-mod. The other mod,gblvr, and I have both been swamped and have only corresponded briefly. And frankly, the topic we inherited less than thrills me. And I quote: "Does the eventual marriage of two major male characters, or even the plot-driven heroism of a female character, diminish the rampant slashworthiness of the LotR movies?" My flip answer would be, "No. Next question." And WTF is the problem with "plot-driven heroism of a female character" anyway? Sigh.
But in just about 12 hours, I'll be in L.A., looking forward to a lovely weekend of slashiness in a place that is a hell of a lot warmer than Toronto right now. Yay!
