MFF- Early Friday morning...
Nov. 18th, 2005 08:18 amAs is usual for me at con, I woke early. I managed at least 6 hours of sleep, and felt pretty good- despite the cookie-snafu, the Tea Party went well, and since the cookies ARE here now, I'll put some in the charity auction, and the rest will be doled out at the Sunday leftover party. :)
I tried to get on the net right off (after tea, of course), but couldn't. Not via my airport card, nor via the ethernet bridge I've been using due to there being a lot of intereference messing with the airport. I futzed with everything I knew (admittedly, not a lot there), then went to the front desk to contact the hotel's tech support (to let the roomies sleep).
25 minutes later, nothing. I gave up and returned to the room to shower. I went back to the lobby, questing for food- I was approached by the hotel rep, who let me know that it WASN'T me, and as I had suspected it was the system in the hotel. I commenced to stuff my face, and now I'm back in the room, the net's working, and all is well with the world. :)
Oh- I mentioned that I sliced myself pretty bad with an Xacto knife while cutting the bcking board for the signs- its all sealed up, no longer bleeding or hurting, and while ugly, I don't think its something to be concerned about.
Today the con officially starts, and I expect to have a very good time!
