We've managed to assemble a mighty list of awesome prizes, and any of you who are going to be at the con should definitely come check out our table, and buy tickets!But for those of you who can't make it to the con, or who just want to be ahead of the curve, I'm selling tickets here and now.

Flag verbatim from jducoeur's LJ What is the sound of a Jaegermonster launched to America by electric catapult?How many litter boxes are required by an invading army of cats?Can TransPolyU's Drama Department cause the spontaneous creation of new timelines, through the scientific application of bad acting?And what is the secret of the Hidden Castle?These questions and more might (but probably won't) be answered in Girl Genius: Agatha Heterodyne and the Perfect Construct!This four-hour LARP was originally run (twice) at Intercon G, and was a fine romp. Next year, as part of Anna and Becky's fundraising for the Komen 3-Day Walk, we will be re-running it. The game will take place on Sunday May 6th at Camelot. The game is for 27 players (tentatively, pending rewrites); we hope to do two runs.We'll be talking it up steadily in the coming months, but I encourage folks to put it on their calendars, and sign up as soon as you are able, at http://arbradley.net/collectInfo.html. Casting will begin in a few months, with an eye towards giving those who are interested a couple of months for costuming.Spread the word, and hope to see you there...Tags: 3day, larp

Flag It is that time again Next summer, July 2012, ladysprite and I will be taking part in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, walking 60 miles to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. This means, among other things, that we each need to raise $5000 by then.I know it sounds like a lot of money, but i know a lot of people, and if everyone i know gave even a small amount, we could reach our goal. The economy sucks, i know, but to quote a friend, you know what else sucks? Cancer. It sucks a whole lot. It sucks so much that people die, people lose friends, relatives, loved ones, even strangers. And every little bit helps. Even the little bit that you can give.I am no doctor, and i am no scientist. I can't find a cure. But i can put one foot in front of the other, and i can walk, and i can beg for donations on my LJ. I can throw money at the problem, and if we all do that, it will give resources to the ones who are doctors and scientists, those who can help.Please, donate if you can. Pass the word around, too, if you know anyone else who may want to contribute.http://www.the3day.org/goto/annacureThank you all so much - for reading, whether you can donate or not.Tags: 3day, cancer, jane, shadow, walk
