Title: Um, I can't go.
Post by: Raptor on February 22, 2005, 03:57:07 PM
I got a wedding invite in the mail last week, with the sad news. A good firend is getting married on the date of our Joe Con.

Ironicly, he was supposed to come this year.  :|

So it looks like I won't be attending. I'll try to make it up for the opening, but time will likely be too tight, as I have to get the baby off to my parents and get to the wedding by 4 (the con doesn't start until 2).

So sorry guys, and make sure to take lots of pictures.

Raptor - Charles

It just won't be the same without you man. Can't they move the wedding date?  :thumbsup:

I'm sure a casual get-together (kinda like the first meet) wouldn't be out of the question. I don't think Mike will want to plan TWO of these things a year though. It's more trouble than you'd think.

Dude, just sleep with his fianc?. Even if the wedding's not called off, no way you'll be invited.

Well, I was trying to set-up and informal meet-n-greet for the Niagara/Buffalo/Ontario but no one was interested on the other boards I brough it up on.  I'd still be happy to have one late in the summer or something, but only if I knew a few people would actually want to be there.

I'm going to do Raptor (and everyone else) a favor......

I'll change the date AS LONG as people haven't started booking the day off or planned trips yet.

Any feedback is appreciated.

This is it however. There's no amount of Timbits in the world that will force me to change it after this..... seriously.... none....


... that I can think of. :-)

I would have to check my calendar to see if I don't have a comic convention to go to the next weekend. (typing this at work).

edit:
Well, April 24 and 29-May 1, I'm booked for two conventions...just letting you know before a new date is set.

I have a prospective gig on the 23rd. Nothing official yet.

I haven't booked anything, yet. And even though I've been complaining about the unstable date, it wouldn't be the same with Raptor.

Any date is fine for me so long as I have about a week's notice.

Aforementioned gig is a no-go. (stupid booking agents...)

Thanks guys,

I can't ask you to move it back, but I'd love it if you did. If anyone has any issue with it though, keep it on the original date.

(Yes, I also posted this in the other thread.)
