The con sounds really fun, I'll see if I can make it. I've never been to a comic con before, but I have a cosplay I can wear. Nothing mer related. Right now my summer schedule is pretty open, but that could change if I get a job at any point.

Echinacea, I'm pretty far from that area actually. Is it an annual thing? With any luck by next year I'll be more confident with both fin swimming and driving outside my little comfort zone.
