I called and double checked after I got my airfare and hotel reservations and they definitely don't pick up from the airport.  I may take a shuttle myself, but I'm not sure yet.  Guess I'll find out when I get there.

And I'll definitely be at dinner.

Sorry I didn't see that question before. I've been at the hotel since Sunday. There was no service from the hotel to get to the hotel. There is a "super shuttle" that costs $22 per person. Hubby and I took a cab - 48 dollars.    :o

OK...

That's 3 miles from my hotel.

Assuming I get out of work on-time, it looks like I'll be there. It might not be
dead on six.

No idea how that'll pan out. :)

The problem is, Wolf, that it's before we'll see you. ;) S'okay. I was just wondering if there was a deal between the con & anyplace (again, Akon does this, so it's not beyond the realm of impossibility, just unlikely)

JA...we'll be there awhile ;)

Weather looks good.
And we're off. I probably won't be able to check this thing beforehand.

Jim was in need of sleep, having been up at 4:30am to catch the flight, so we dropped them off after lunch, at the Hyatt, and will retrieve them around 5ish. So no parking involved.

What was I supposed to ask him? Besides why he hate dyslexics?*

Well the dinner is over and I had a great time. Meeting everyone was awesome and everyone was so nice. I have to say that Mr. Butcher is the nicest famous person I have ever meet....wait he is the only famous person I have ever meet.

Sardines!*
It was a wee bit crowded, but fun.

Met Fairyfreak, Wolfhowls, Big Mama, Libby...and....um....crap. I don't know if some of those people on the other side of the room were board members or not.

I'm freakin' tired at work, today.

Hey was FairyFreak the woman with blonde hair with that guy that didn't talk because I was too busy asking Mr. Butcher too many damn questions?

Probably. Thin, chinnish-length hair, spectacles, her husband was dark curly hair and spectacles?

Mickey, I got some great pics of Jim and Bob while we were there.  Oh, and I was the one sitting on the end with Bigmama in the polka dots...I know someone else got some group pics of Shannon and a few of us outside but I'm not sure who off hand.  I'll check with Hockeymom and see if she knows who got them.  I don't have the adapter for my camera here so I'll have to wait until I get back home to post any pics.  Will you be at Jim's panels tomorrow?
