Yeah, the only experience I have with Canadians in the US is an uncle who married an American, and then became an American citizen after he divorced so that he could marry again and have her able to live here (the second, well actually third, but who's counting, wife is Mexican). Since I don't want to become a citizen, and I don't especially want to marry, I hope there's an easier way :P

personally, I'd prefer it to be in Houston just because I'm closer to it
How close are you to Houston. I just went and looked it up, and the office *is* in Houston. 9999 Veterans Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77038

I am still thinking about Fedcon
Cool. I'll take another look at what they're offering, and maybe look into a budget or something.

I can go to cons with just me, but it's infinitely more fun with more than just me
Oh totally. It can be fun to meet people when you're there, but it's still better to have someone with you that you know you can squee with :P

And I'll keep the temperature thing in mind. How cold does it get in your area?
