Sticker shock!
I've been invited to appear at a couple of horror conventions: one in Seattle late this month, and the other in Burbank in late October.

So, yesterday I started checking air fares...and they have virtually doubled from what they were a few months ago. Fuel prices, I assume.

To fly from Austin to Seattle and back, it costs close to $1000...and, there's a plane change.

I told the Seattle people "Maybe next year".

Los Angeles and Burbank are around the same price, about $500+.

I'll hold off on my decision on that one for 2-3 months; see what happens.
