I don't want to come off as a jerk... (Destiny)

Where'd you live, just out of curiosity? I'm in the Columbia area now, which I actually don't mind so much. It is rough adjusting from Califoria, though. Being an hour from San Francisco and a few hours from Lake Tahoe and the mountains was really, really awesome. Have absolutely none of that here. :(

Oh yeah, there's nothing like that here, either (I mean of course! If I said we had mountains and oceans in Kansas City, I hope you wouldn't believe that :P), and that's why I've been trying to gain the ability to move somewhere beautiful in the Pacific Northwest for the last few years. I'm pretty tired of these landscapes at this point.

I'm in a suburb just north of Kansas City right now. Downtown is a 10 minute drive. But I lived in Columbia for four years while I attended college there (and I was just there a couple of weekends ago for a wedding). I like some of downtown Columbia (when thirty fraternities aren't converging on the bars) and some of the parks around town. While I enjoyed a lot of my art teachers, I think most of my college experience was pretty poor so Columbia is associated with a lot of mixed feelings.

I'm missing DoDecaCon this weekend, but I usually have a table at the con and Midwest GeekFest there.
