Ladies and gentlemen, this weekend, I found out that I have parents who are gigantic fucking nerds.

Backstory: Before moving away to college, my family and I would go on a yearly Summer Vacation, either at the beginning or end of the season. These trips would usually involve a few days in Toronto, or a weekend in Cincinnati, and one eventful trip took place in the hellhole known as Shipshawana, Indiana. But, we hadn't done one in recent years, due to me having a summer job, or not living at home over the summer. Well, I talked to my mother this weekend, and she had some exciting news. This year my parents decided that we should bring back the tradition, and in a big, BIG way: the whole family is packing up and going to WonderFest! Yes, for a family vacation, I'm going to a convention with my parents. And not just any convention: Wonderfest is the premiere convention for model enthusiasts around the country. The event is gonna have not only a screening of Alien and the amazing The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (with talks from the writer/director/star and his co-stars), but all kinds of model, comic, and movie displays for all to enjoy.

Why? It's the 30th aniversary of Alien, and a bunch of the original FX guys from the movie are gonna be there. And my dad is gonna enter a bunch of models in their yearly contest. Yeah, my parents are dorks.

Anyway, the event is going down in Louisville May 16th and 17th. So, I was wondering if there are any Dtoiders around the Louisville area that are going to the event, or would like to get together somewhere for a NARP that Saturday evening (May 16th). I have yet to meet anyone from the site ('cept my buddy Nihon), and thought that this would be a great way to meet you folks. Anyone going/interested?
