* The Guild Wars 2 Pride fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad will come in at over $12k once everything is in, with over a thousand coming from my guild! We broke last year's total by a bit, not much, but still it feels good that it is growing. Lelling ran 4 in-game pride parades. I watched bits of two and was in one of them. Lelling really does a ton of work for the whole thing. For some participants who live in unsafe areas or who have disabilities, this virtual pride is the only one they can go to.

* The 'thing in October' has turned out to be a Creation con for multiple Electric Entertainment shows. Well, I want to go to New Orleans anyway and October seems like a good month. I have a lot to figure out, including how long I want to be there. I plan to fly to Chicago and take the City of New Orleans train down, knocking another long haul line off of my list.

I am a little worried that some panels will be packed and ones for The Ark will be *crickets*, but eh, not my con not my problem.

* I also have some other trip planning to do, and I need to get a bunch of stuff nailed down.

It does sound like a fun trip, particularly the train!

[olivermoss]

I'm looking forward to it

that trip to New Orleans sounds like it could be lots of fun - especially as you're including a train ride. I love long train trips, and I bet you'll see/experience lots of cool stuff. and then just the city of New Orleans (and the con) could be a blast

[olivermoss]

I love trains and have wanted to do that one for a bit! The city should be amazing. I haven't done any type of con in ages.

The Pride event stuff is great! That's a really nice donation to be able to make, and I love that it is something people can participate in.

I hope you can get the travel plans nailed down.

Yeah, GW2's pride event really does a lot, both in terms of donations and making an event that's accessible to people who can't do IRL pride events.
