You are currently powered by a sprinkle of pixie dust from the "Gonna-Be-A-GREAT-Con" anticipation fairies.

Their magic *always* seems to run out in while you're in a warmish room full of fellow con-goers while you are forced to wait for the guest/author/panelist you came to see...   :)

*flails* I don't get to leave until between 4 and 5.  But only live 45 minutes away (with rush hour traffic 90 min hopefully)  I look forward to seeing everyone though and will have my camera in hand. :D

Not in this case. Many interesting people around, from this forum. They will help her remaining concious.

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Right now I'm sitting in the hotel room talking with Matt, my guy, and Noey. We had to turn the heat down-it was blasting, and the temp is something like 30ish outside.

GAH. They tried to run our card and the person didn't write down all the numbers to run it and they GAVE AWAY OUR ROOM! When they said "oops, sorry, nothing we can do" and Gryph asked for a manager, they transferred him to the overflow hotel.  This is after TSA slit open my box with my sword and didn't bother to retape it (thank goodness everything seems to be there), but still!  Wth?

Shoot me now. Woke up at 4 AM. And wife's delicate little snores were just enough to keep me from falling asleep. Looks like I'm going to be caffeine's bitch for the duration of the con.

Remember Williamsburg is also a college town...there are PLENTY of places to get caffeine.   And sugar.  And combinations of the two.  ;D

Pictures TSA and his highly trained partner looking at the sword shaped xray on the box marked "sword" in the checked luggage:

"We have to check if it's a weapon."

"uhh....yuhhhh..."

"Looks like a sword."

"uhhh..... yuhhh... sword."

"The tag says 'sword.'  Might be a weapon."

"uyhhh... yuhhh...weapon."

"Let's open it."

"Uhhh.... yuhhhh... open."

"Ok.  It's a open.  It's a sword."

"Uhhh.. yuhhh... sword."

"Just like it says on the tag, just like it looks like on the xray."

"uhhh... yuhhh... xray."

"But we're paid to check to see if the box tagged "sword" in the checked baggage actually was a sword, just to be sure."

"uhhh...yuhhh... sure."

"Well, it could have been a sword shaped bomb.  Never can be too sure, good thing we're highly trained professionals."

"uhhh... yuhhh... pro...pro....pro...uhhh... trained."

Do you have a confirmation number? They make great flails to use on goobs who screw up reservations...

Hope you're all having a good time, regardless of small annoyances like no rooms and no sleep!  :D
