Just saw the VividCon membership announcement and *Sadness* I will not be able to go this year! For the best of reasons as I will already be in Amsterdam by then, but It feels very strange and empty to not go for the first time in ... 7 years? 8 years? A *long* time! I will miss you all fiercely in August - please dance a little harder, squee a little longer, and smile a little wider for me.

Will miss you, sweetie.

So it's already closed for being able to attend? Reading over the site, it seems like it is already full and they are just taking wait list names now. This is disappointing as I was planning on going.

And I am sorry you cannot attend - it's a central event for you and your interests and your work!

See you soon!

No, no -- last year's con is sold out (unsurprisingly *g*), which is what the website is still talking about, but registration for this year's con hasn't happened yet. Reg will open at midnight Eastern Time (U.S.) between Saturday March 12 and Sunday March 13; all the details are in this post to the con's LJ community. I hope you can come! Do watch or join the LJ community if you're interested in the con; a lot of information is appearing there just now!

Thanks! I just joined the community and I am so glad I did not miss the deadline! I have an academic research fund that will cover me attending, and I feared I had missed out :)

As Shoshanna already said, they haven't started yet - I can't go b/c I won't be here :( But you should totally, definitely go! And have a fantastic time! And tell me all about it!

Aw, rats, I'm sorry you can't be there! But I can't argue with your priorities -- Amsterdam! I've been there several times, though not in years and years, and always loved it.
