Origins is coming up within the next 2 months, so who all is planning on going again this year? Tim, Richard and ladies, is shrapnel going to attend again this yr? I hope so,

[David E. Gervais]

I would if I could, but I can't so I wont. (It's the story of my life.)

Yes indeed.

Hmmm it is in Ohio. I might try to go. I don't see Shrapnel on the Exibitors list though.

[Combat Wombat]

Ron Spencer and Harry Turtledove are 2 of the special guests! I am now going to do everything within my power to go.

In OHIO... eeee gaaaddd.

What is "Origins"? Some sort of developers/publishers convention?

[David E. Gervais]

Mac, what is the 'vacation' thing you're talking about? I heard people talk about that before. But have never found out what it is. I suspect it's one of those things reserved for the rich. So I guess I'll never experience one of those in my lifetime. It does sound like an interesting concept though.

I think I remember hearing my grandfather talk about "vakashuns" once...

But then HE didn't live in Los Angeles so I guess it's irrelevant to my situation.

LOL Dave, I know what you mean, I'm retired and I still need a vacation which I never seem to get, Anyone who tells you that when your retire you have the live of ease, is either living in a fanasty world or isn't married http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But it would be nice if you could make it especially if shrapnel is going to be there

I heard on the news that the US is going to require we Canadians to have a Passport to enter the US starting in 3 years. I also heard that they are sending MinuteMen to watch the Canadian Border. And I also heard that the current long delays on the US Canadian Border is costing us 4billion/5billion per year in lost trade and jobs.

Personally I don't believe in passports,.. I'll wait until we finally come to terms that we are one people living on one planet. Chances are I'll die before that happens, but once I/we cross over to the 'beyond' we will see that we are all one people living in a universe. Then we will realise how narrow-minded and egotistical we really are.

Sorry for the rant,.. but it looks like paranoia has won this war against terrorists, which is to say we have lost. The only way to end this terrorism is to completely and utterly remove them from the news. the more 'exposure' they get the more they win, and the less secure we feel. We are supposed to control OUR news, so why are the terrorists getting so much air time? Grrrr. What's the universal policy on terrorism? "We do not negotiate with terrorists!" Ha, we don't need to negotiate, we are giving them exactly what they want for free. As long as we keep reporting it, they will keep doing it.
