Once again, I have been invited to interpret at Dragon*Con. Once again, I have to say no. In the past it’s been various reasons. Last year it was because of school. This year it’s because of school, too. I just don’t understand why they have to have it on Labor Day weekend, which is just one week after classes start. I can’t just fly off to Atlanta right after classes start!

Of course, there’s only a few people I’m sorry I’ll miss interpreting for. Sean Astin, Adam Baldwin, and Avery Brooks. Oh, and Michael Dorn, Brad Dourif, Jerry Doyle, Richard Hatch, and some guy named Walter Koenig. Have I already mentioned J.M. Linsner, some author chick named Anne McCaffrey, and Robert Picardo? Or James Randi? Did I mention Jewel Staite? There’s also this old guy named Adam West. Yeah, I won’t be interpreting for any of them.

I’ve already interpreted for Cirroc Lofton, Dean Haglund, and James Marsters, but I wouldn’t mind doing it again. And I’ve attended a con where George Takei was a guest, but I’d love to interpret for him. Yeah, Labor Day weekend is a bad, bad time for the biggest con of the year. Sigh.
