Hi, I'm back...I just remembered, slightly OT by the way...

Last night I did an audition for the old folk's christmas party to sing solo, and I sang 'Our Journey Begins' from the episode Critical Mass.

Hopefully we'll find out soon about how I did...

Really Allestian? Good luck on that! I hope you do well. I sooooo wanna go to a con with him in attendance... I'd pay just about anything right now. I just never seem to find out about them until it's too late!

[Allestian]

I just don't have the confidence to travel to a convention...

[Jersey13]

Aww... not even if I go with ya?

[Allestian]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go with you, but I get extremely anxious in those kind of situations.

Which reminds me. Everyone avoid Virginia beachat about July next year because I might be there for about 3-5 weeks. Depending if I can get myself on a dang plane.

[Jersey13]

lol... Aww, don't feel bad. Anxiety is natural at conventions with huge numbers of people in attendance. We can choose a smaller or medium size convention, though. The local ones where I live usually have between 15,000 and 22,000 people at them throughout a given weekend, depending on the guests, and that's actually medium sized. Comic-con I think would be too much at like 70,000. That many people is just ghastly. But the medium ones usually have a nicer balance between popularity and good guests and panels. I'll hold your hand... Trust me, it's much less painful than a dentist's visit!

[Allestian]

How would I get there???

[Jersey13]

Oh, c'mon... Don't complain so much. Swim for it! Just don't let your arms get tired.

I already knew people there, that's why I went. =D I would've never dared to go alone. *lol*

[Jersey13]

It's a lot more fun to go when you know other people who are going that you can hang out with at all hours of the night. But I'd go to a con alone, if the guests were good enough. I've done it before.

When I went to the con in London, I didn't know anyone. But I soon made friends with people. And I've been in contact with a number of people since I got home. They've also asked me if I'm going to Pegasus 2 in February. So I know if I go there, I'll have friends there already.

I was nervous about it, but I found everyone was friendly.

[sueKay]

I went to a con on my own when I was 12!

[Allestian]

Now you see Pegasus 2 would depend on the date...

We have the Joseph performances in feb...

70,000 people!?! Wow, the biggest I've ever been to had 4,000!

[Jersey13]

Well, that's really just an arbitrary number for Comic-con, really... I read it somewhere, don't remember exactly where though.
