Sunday Picnic amongst the Fae

[poetree_admin]

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

::facepalm:: I feel like I should have known that. Oh well, thanks for the correction. :)

There are usually three events done by this group: FaerieCon East, which is the one I attended in Maryland, FaerieCon West, which is coming up in February and will be in Seattle, Washington, and FaerieWorlds, which is in July and held in Eugene, Oregon. FaerieCon East 2014 will probably be in November or October, though I don't know where yet. :)

Conventions can be pricey depending on what package you get and where you stay. It is often worth it to stay at the hotel where the con is being held because it makes getting to things and mingling with other con goers so much easier. We did day passes for Saturday and stayed Friday night so that we didn't have to get two twelve year old up, dressed and into a car early Saturday morning. Often times they will have sales and group discounts on passes and hotel rooms. And splitting the cost with others can make it much more affordable. I do budget extra money for spending in the exhibit halls though, because there are guaranteed to be lots of pretty shinies and other fun things to buy.
