DOH! Hmmm... Most of the adults who arrange conventions are on the east coast or mid-east correct? If so, :(

I want a convention in California! Or Oregon. Or something. Texas? I don't know.

:confused: Ah well, I REALLY want to see you guys, but of course

*fly to tennesee just for that? no way!*

Maybe next year, my dad will fly on the way, and me and my mom can be dropped off... Whatever. Thanks
 
Oregon would be an incredibly nice place to visit, even if I do have to hitch-hike.
