i got into a denver con in mid august!
!! 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

VeGGies
YO

zee art
watch me wither and turn to dust, a fun game

VeGGies
Mid-August? Summer. Thunderstorms in the afternoons fairly frequently.

zee art
ohhhh

zee art
we don't have real weather in my country

VeGGies
We have heat but basically zero humidity.

zee art
i love it, i'm moving there immediately

VeGGies
ngl that part's great

VeGGies
So when it's

VeGGies
"hot" here, it's basically like.... baby-hot

zee art
my favorite kind of hot

VeGGies
I whine and bitch about weather in the 90s but it's a totally dry heat with no sweltering bullshit

VeGGies
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

VeGGies
Yes, with one slight mention

VeGGies
The altitude can be a bit rough

zee art
especially as it'd be morning/evening walk

VeGGies
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

VeGGies
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

VeGGies
You'll get tired and dehydrated much more easily at altitude, so slam the water and don't go run a marathon or anything

VeGGies
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

VeGGies
What con, btw?

auntie pink fur
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

auntie pink fur
potassium helps with altitude sickness

zee art
oh and the con is denfur

auntie pink fur
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?

VeGGies
I had no idea we had a con called Denfur

black bean soup
september

VeGGies
Good name tho

zee art
sept ok. i will remember that.

auntie pink fur
aww i thought it might have been ndk...i might go this year so i was like

auntie pink fur
could see liz

VeGGies
(I'm staff at NDK!)

black bean soup
ok i checked and its sep 12-20

black bean soup
so maybe block that off on a calendar somewhere

black bean soup
esp bc theyre projecting ppl will be freaking out leading up to it

zee art
who's liz

auntie pink fur
zee!!! sorry

auntie pink fur
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
lets go to hmart like, on the 5th

black bean soup
gotta stock the grill for the lean winter

jaina ig
if you're not a vegetarian be sure to eat a reindeer hot dog (or something, they have options) at the special cart

VeGGies
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

jaina ig
VeGGies
took me there

VeGGies
I DID

VeGGies
It's called Biker Jim's, they have a location and a stall downtown

zee art
idk if i will be downtown

VeGGies
Next time we're going to the other famous local restaurant

zee art
but if i see it i'll go for it

VeGGies
Let's see where the con's at

zee art
crowne plaza by the airport

VeGGies
Ooooohh

zee art
oh yeahi just took a pic of the map for myself


zee art
handy

VeGGies
Well, depends how adventurous you're feeling

VeGGies
Our airport is in fucking Nebraska basically, lmao

VeGGies
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

VeGGies
This is fair

auntie pink fur
just means you need to come vacation in co sometime

zee art
i desperately want to do ski things there
