If you guys make it up here for any conventions in Minneapolis I can offer you not only deluxe accomodations (a.k.a. an air mattress on the living room floor) but also some Killer Bunny action.

It’s probably too short of notice, but MarsCon is coming up in two weeks with Gigi Edgely and Dean Haglund as the GoHs. ( http://marscon.org/2006/index.php ) And our biggest convention up here is CONvergence over the 4th of July weekend ( http://www.convergence-con.org/ )

Bunnies:
Evo: just make sure you buy the boosters in order. There are some cards that you need previous boosters to use, ones that reference the Zodiac cards from Green for example. If you have extras of Omegas I don’t have from that stash that was sent you I would be willing to trade for a booster set. *grin*
Mark: Storage for the boosters isn’t an issue. I’ve got all of them and the cards and stuff all fits into the original blue box.

And everyone needs to run out and buy Apples to Apples! Easy to play, fun when you’re sober, more fun when you’re drunk! Also, if you’re a listener from England, John Kovalic JUST finished the cards for the British version so you don’t have to put up with figuring out American slang!

Bunnies: Hmm. I don’t have any omega’s myself. Wouldn’t mind getting Number Six for my deck though… I’m just holding off buying anything past violet myself for lack of storage when transporting (A suitcase of about 660 cards would be a serious damper on traveling by plane with only two carry-ons. Not to mention the horror of shuffling…)

Cochlear Implants: Tempting, if I had five grand
to blow on a nicety like that, the ability to completely control the source(s), and turn the damn things off when I don’t want them. I don’t need Aerosmith blasting in my head from a neighbor’s airport express while I’m in bed, thank you very much.

Pimpin’: The problem with shows like Trickin’/Pimpin’ is that they only do the superficial exterior and interior work, and often not too functionally well. I wouldn’t want a ping-pong table or a pool in the back of a pickup (providing I had one to begin with). The customizers never work with the engine, tranny, or suspension, so if you were sputtering when you came in, with a sticky clutch and broken springs, you’ll get it back the same way.

Now something like Overhaulin’ (I think on TLC) is where they restore classics in the same formula, except they break it down to the frame, and rebuild up from there. A bit more useful, and they actually do true custom work with fabbing interiors, metal work and beef up the engine. Tends to keep longer.

Lodging: While I can’t seem to find anything happening in Edmonton and the like, I would have offered had the chance arose.
