Feb. 4th, 2004 09:28 amNoreascon, the World SF Convention, has broken me.
At first, when I found out it was coming to Boston, I just looked at the ticket price, laughed and laughed, and tossed the flyer away.
Then I found out Terry Pratchett was going to be the guest of honor, and the laughter died. But it was still too expensive.
But now I find out that, in TP's honor, they're BUILDING ANKH-MORPORK, and are currently recruiting actors to be characters.
Hear that crumbling sound? That was my willpower. I'd pay that ticket price just to see the Librarian costume.
To top it off, I've been having fun trying to cast people I know as Discworld characters. Paul S. as Ridcully or Colon? Aaron as Nobby?
empheliath as Angua? Cliff as Vimes *maybe*, but he's not seedy enough...Cliff with a horrible hangover, maybe.
