Ready, set, here we goooooooooooo!

Well, here we are: in twenty-four hours I will be at the airport, going through security, getting ready to board a big metal sky-bird that will carry me away to England. Most people know this, since the Great Pumpkin knows, I've been talking about it a lot. What many people do not seem to have put together is that I will not be flying back until October 7th. Yup. October.

(Why am I doing this? Well, because I am Guest of Honor at Filk Continental in Germany the first weekend in October, and staying in Europe made more sense than flying home, financially, time-wise, and seeing my friends who I never get to see-wise. I will still be working essentially every day, since deadlines budge for no one, but I will also be seeing people, enjoying things, and eating cheese. Mmm, cheese.)

What does this mean for you?

Well, for one thing, nothing's getting mailed until I get back. I have tried my best to clear all pending mailing before I left; whatever hasn't been sent out is going to have to wait until such time as I am back where the things live. Fun for the whole family!

Because we are still verifying T-shirt payments and orders, we will not be shipping shirts until after I get back.

I will have internet access, but it's not going to be completely dependable from day to day; there may be a longer than usual delay in replying to messages. Also, messages may have random cat pictures attached, as I start to go into serious withdrawal.

It's going to be an adventure!

I will miss you all.

I will be moving before October, which was not anticipated at the time I ordered my shirt. Where should I direct a change of shipping address?

Safe travels and have a blast! Germany was one of my favorite stops on my European tour last summer.

All inquiries about payment, mailing, etc. go to the merch address which initially emailed you. I have seriously less than zero input with this process.

Bon voyage!

DH and I got back from Europe 2.5 weeks ago. He enjoyed lots of (real) beer and we both enjoyed the cheeses you can't get here. (Cheese, Grommie) We would have loved to stay longer, but the real world would not be put off. Neither would the bills. I hope you have a wonderful adventure there!

Have as much of a good time as you can for a "working" convention, and definitely enjoy your time outside of it!

Thank you so much for shipping Stars Fall Home before you left! I didn't realize you were leaving so soon and I appreciate you taking the time to send it beforehand. Also I love that your return address sticker has a pumpkin on it. :)

I am fond of those stickers. :)
