DragonCon in T-24. Panicking now.

[lagilman]

Last week I breezily assured myself that there was plenty of time to panic before DragonCon. And then, y’know, we had an earthquake and a hurricane thing going on*, and suddenly whee! it’s time to panic!

I’m getting in Thursday night, and leaving Sunday, and things are kind of packed in-between. I hope to see you there! (and feel free to stop me and say hi. I may be slightly discombobulated at first, but that’s just, y’know…sleep dep.)

Have fun! Make sure you take plenty of pics!

My name is Girasole, and I approve of this sentiment.

Where are you staying? I am finally well enough (hip, feet) to hit some cons but the hugeness that is Dragoncon scares me. I mean, I'm from NY but that con sounds wicked-overpopulated (and I should go 'cause was a Parsec judge, not for your stuff, tho).

I'm at the Peachtree. Considerably quieter than the main hotels. :-)

Both my kids are there, so if you suddenly think you hear me squeeing, that'll be my daughter. Apparently our squees have each others' noses. Or something. {G}
