Weekends near July 4th used to be horrible for me to get out of Tempe, but I have move upward in my work-world and I no longer have that time blacked out. I plan on finally attending PaizoCon for real (rather than the fake hopes) this year.
I, fortunately, have a lot of vacation that I occasionally have trouble using, adding a day or two traveling to and form Seattle sounds tempting.
Although, I have several friends who have recently settled in the area and I may add a day or three prior or after PaizoCon.
