I am totally going to try and come meet you all at the airport, but I'm not sure 1) how I'm going to get down there, and 2) logistics.  I'll do my darndest, though.

Brother, no need to go all that extra distance. If you get to the hotel, Sue and I will be renting a car - hey, your mighty Cursorial skills could even scout out the joint! Might go so far to get a bigger car as a people shuttle.

Sorry, we changed flights. Going to Norfolk. About the same drive time as long as we avoid rush hour - I have a friend who used to live in Norfolk and she always spoke of rush hour with fear and trepidation.

Hmm.  I wonder if Jim would be game for another fan dinner...

Obviously, not as elaborate as the NYCC one, but festive and dinnerful nonetheless....

See if we can get something going at the pancake place Inky was talking about in the other thread, maybe?

I got my ticket, and my friend reserved us a hotel room.

Why am I suddenly being followed on Twitter?  :P  :D
