I just learnt that the 2008 NYC Con is in April, although no firm date is fixed.

April is good and bad for me.

Good - it will be warmer (last year was bitterly cold)and I am relatively quiet, work wise, in April.

Bad - if it is during the school holidays the airfare go way up and although I am quieter the bookings I do get are not flexible. In February it is mostly schools that I can do at anytime, but in April it is private dinners which cannot be moved and therefore I will loose the bookings.

I am still determined to go.
