and i’m off! (heh heh)

Okay. I think I have everything I need. I have a passport, a flight schedule, and a toothbrush, and although none of those items is a towel, they’re still probably the absolute basics of what I need to get to Pi-Con. I have a number of other things, too, but those are the ones that seem critical. :) I’ve got no idea whether I’ll be blogging from the con or not, so there may be Vast And Terrible Silence from me for *counts on fingers* four whole days. Be brave.…

Pi-Con meal schedule

Quick schedule verification: Thursday, 3:30pm-ish: collects me from the airport and keeps me for approximately 24 hours. Friday, 7:15pm-ish: and I have dinner. Possibly will join us. Saturday, 11:15am-ish: lunch with and Saturday, 5pm-ish: dinner with and Apparently if anybody attending or running the con wants to have a meal with me it’ll have to be Sunday. :) I suspect I’ll be most available through email (cemurphyauthor@gmail.com), but generically, anybody I’m having a meal with should perhaps just meet me in the hotel lobby at the assigned time.

trying to plan

things I need to bring to Pi-Con: – excerpt from HoS to read – excerpts from TQB and CB, just in case nobody wants to hear anything from HoS – toothbrush – the Dana – probably not a camera, piffle Oh my, such excitement. Men just turned up with a double bed for us, so now we’ve got a double and two singles in the bedroom, which is more bed than most people need, and another two singles stacked downstairs in the spare bedroom. Hopefully there will be arrangements made…

MeCon report!

Due to a suspicion that I’ll just fall asleep if I try to work (though opening up the Dana to the appropriate file made me go, “Oh, yah, that’ll be a good place to start from,” so that’s a positive sign), I thought I might as well do a con writeup on the train, and therefore have it entirely done by the time I got home. World’s Fastest Con Report. Go me. :) Short version: it was a very nice *weekend*, if a somewhat erratic *convention*. A distinct lack of…
