Did you guys know that they are opening a Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame here in Seattle? Why would you, you don’t live here. Well, I do, and I was completely clueless. It’s Paul Allen… he’s adding it on to the EMP. Louise and I discovered this yesterday, and we were totally surprised to find it’s opening in about two months. We are considering “joining” the museum. Means you get to enter through the Members Express door. And you get a Membership card and discounts and advance notice. But… act now and you’ll get an SFM t-shirt AND a lapel pin. That’s right, because you’ll be Charter Members. People will ask me, “Jodi… how come you are a member of a Science Fiction Museum? You’ve never seen a single episode of Babylon 5…” and I’ll say, “yes, but i got a t-shirt AND a lapel pin” as I sail past them in the Members Express line. I’m not sure I deserve it, tho… I’m not very far down on the Geek Hierarchy chart. First tier, really… comic book fan.
Speaking of furries, Louise and I also discovered that there is a furry convention coming up in September. This all came about because Louise pointed out we missed norwescon. Not having a clue what that was, I could hardly mind, but I wanted to know just what i missed out on… so we started searching. We came to this list of sci fi things coming to Seattle/Tacoma area. And, in September, it’s the Conifur Northwest. It’s downright irresistible, I’m telling you. We are waiting, with bated breath, for the prices to be announced, to see if we will be able to afford such a unique experience.
yes… we’d be doing it for fodder. But we’d be totally polite and groovy about it. [as long as my personal boundaries are respected] come on… we don’t want to get beat up by giant stuffed animals.
