Hm, I wonder... Usually I can't really go to this type of thing, but it's so close yet so far. I only live about 50 miles south of Portland, it'd be a shame if I didn't get to go. Wonder if it's too late to pay for an admission, or if you can do it at the door? Anyway, I was going to ask my sister's beau if he would like to drive me up there if I paid him. I wonder what it would be like, seeing as how I can't really go out in public for more than a few hours at a time. Oh sure, I can handle a drive to Lincoln City, which is about the same drive length. And I'd really like to visit Portland again, it's been about 10 years since I last set foot there. I bet a lot has changed, but nothing I'd remember. If I feel up to it and he feels up to it, I wouldn't spend the night or anything, just go there on Saturday for part of the day and then leave half-way through. I doubt he'd do it, though, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right? Maybe I can get some old VCS games for my collection or something. It's been a long time since I actually got out of the town (no, Keizer does NOT count! ) and would like a trip SOMEWHERE, whether it be Lincoln City or Portland. I really would like to see you all and get to know some of you (the people who will be there, of course.) Of course, if it were to be held in Salem, I could just get a ride over to the Convention Center. Yes, the ugly old convention center that was built a few years ago. I've never actually been inside the building, and it's not really all that ugly, just stupid looking. Well, here, judge for yourself.
