!! what is the weather usually like then and how many of u do i know there
zee art
my 10th con between now and august no big
GGingle Bells
YO
zee art
watch me wither and turn to dust, a fun game
GGingle Bells
Mid-August? Summer. Thunderstorms in the afternoons fairly frequently.
zee art
ohhhh
zee art
we don't have real weather in my country
GGingle Bells
We have heat but basically zero humidity.
zee art
i love it, i'm moving there immediately
GGingle Bells
ngl that part's great
GGingle Bells
So when it's
GGingle Bells
"hot" here, it's basically like.... baby-hot
zee art
my favorite kind of hot
GGingle Bells
I whine and bitch about weather in the 90s but it's a totally dry heat with no sweltering bullshit
GGingle Bells
I didn't even know what a heat index was until I was a full grown woman visiting the south
zee art
so i should probably be fine if i get an airbnb a walking distance from the con, right
zee art
the walk won't murder me or anything
GGingle Bells
Yes, with one slight mention
GGingle Bells
The altitude can be a bit rough
zee art
especially as it'd be morning/evening walk
GGingle Bells
Especially if you're at sea level.
zee art
oh i'm fuckin READY for that shift, i wish i could stay to work out in it
GGingle Bells
Oh yeah, the heat won't be the problem, but you want to drink lots and lots of water and take it easy your first few days
zee art
there is no such thing as taking it easy but i will definitely have lots of water
GGingle Bells
You'll get tired and dehydrated much more easily at altitude, so slam the water and don't go run a marathon or anything
GGingle Bells
If you stay on top of the water (not liquids, not soda, WATER) and don't drink too much alcohol you'll be totally fine.
zee art
honestly you just convinced me to go for airbnb and not hotel room, i want that walk
GGingle Bells
What con, btw?
yuletide gay
yeah it's hot but very dry. i recommend you buy a couple of bananas and eat them while you're in town
zee art
bananas
black bean soup
cutting it close to our travel deadzone
zee art
strange advice but will do
black bean soup
also yeah bananas they help
zee art
also i stayed in santa fe for a while so i am definitely down for high altitudes
black bean soup
as my week in denver showed me
yuletide gay
potassium helps with altitude sickness
zee art
oh and the con is denfur
yuletide gay
i needed to slam it when i first moved here because i ended up on the floor once
zee art
omg when is our deadzone again?? end of august?
GGingle Bells
I had no idea we had a con called Denfur
black bean soup
september
GGingle Bells
Good name tho
zee art
sept ok. i will remember that.
yuletide gay
aww i thought it might have been ndk...i might go this year so i was like
yuletide gay

GGingle Bells
(I'm staff at NDK!)
black bean soup
ok i checked and its sep 12-20
black bean soup

black bean soup
esp bc theyre projecting ppl will be freaking out leading up to it
zee art
who's liz
yuletide gay
zee!!! sorry
yuletide gay
brainfart
zee art
ok so definitely i will not go to rose city con if i get in, it is not worth that deadzone travel
zee art
lmao it's ok
black bean soup
lmao yeah not unless you want to stay at your parents til the 20th+
zee art
ugh
zee art
that's too much parents
black bean soup

if you're not a vegetarian be sure to eat a reindeer hot dog (or something, they have options) at the special cart
GGingle Bells
also be sure to go out for Mexican and have some green chili
zee art
omg i will do all of these things
zee art
reindeer hot dog, i love it
My Knee
GGingle Bells
took me there
GGingle Bells
I DID
GGingle Bells
It's called Biker Jim's, they have a location and a stall downtown
zee art
idk if i will be downtown
GGingle Bells
Next time we're going to the other famous local restaurant
zee art
but if i see it i'll go for it
GGingle Bells
Let's see where the con's at
zee art
crowne plaza by the airport
GGingle Bells
Ooooohh
zee art
oh yeahi just took a pic of the map for myself 
zee art
handy
GGingle Bells
Well, depends how adventurous you're feeling
GGingle Bells
Our airport is in fucking Nebraska basically, lmao
GGingle Bells
But you could hop on a train and ride to downtown if you're feeling saucy
zee art
hmmmm if i have a bit of spare time on thursday i will, but my usual gambit is to fly in, set up, do the con, and head out sunday night
zee art
it doesn't leave much time to actually explore
GGingle Bells
This is fair
yuletide gay
just means you need to come vacation in co sometime
zee art
