Title: So who is heading out this morning?
Post by: Mister_E on May 22, 2008, 12:22:46 AM
So I can punch you in the face for showing up before me? Kidding!

But who is heading out now or in like a few hours?

I plan to show up around 3pm. Honestly I wouldn't mind showing up now, but there's just no point in it.

Funny you mention that because some of the staffers are already here setting things up and making sure that everything is working 100% :)

You can be just like the mervyn's lady. Stay in front of the con center and go "OPEN, OPEN, OPEN, OPEN" lol XD

Well I know that some staffers are showing up early, becasue there is no way in Hell that I would set up if I was a non-staffer.

I'd press my face on the door and breathe through OR do something out of Dawn of the Dead 2004 and get a bunch of other cosplayers and press up againist the glass and Scratch and moan.

I hope to make it to the convention center ~5:30.  I wanted to be there at 4 but my friends are laaame and are working til 5.  (Plus I forgot to print out my postcard so I have to go home between work and Fanime anyway.)

We considered leaving today and staying with my fiancee's mom near Palo Alto tonight, but there are quite a few things preventing us.  Number one being my homework load that I need to turn in before tomorrow morning.  Number 2 is because not all of us from our group could go up today, so none (I think) of us are so we can have one last masquerade practice session before the con.  Number 3 is because I'm not all done with my last minute costume stuff, and I'm not dragging my sewing machine with me.  XD

We'll be hitting up the grocery store for con food tomorrow morning and hopefully on the road before 9:15.  It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from where I am.

I'm going with a friend to Smart and Final to get snacks/drinks for our hotel room, and then my sisters and I will probably be at the convention center around 4 PM. Then we'll hang out for a bit.

Yay! Fanime is here OMG!

I'll be leaving around 10 a.m. and should be there around 3 p.m. But that all depends on how traffic is and how many times I get pulled over by the C.H.P.  :D

There's been a change of plans for me, I won't be getting to convention until 8:30 tonight, but I'm still coming.

Registration closes at 8... :-(

Guess you'll be getting your badge in the morning?

I've still got a bunch of stuff to finish up, swing by the store and pick up some snacks to stock the hotel room with so that I don't pull my usual not-eating-until-after-con routine (I'm usually running around so much I forget to eat...whoops), make sure my sister has everything ready to come down tomorrow, and then pick up my friend at around 4:30. Hopefully traffic down 680 won't be too bad (lol avoiding 580), so we should get there around 6 or so tonight (totally factoring in traffic; I've made the drive without traffic in 40 minutes last year. true, I was driving too fast, but shh >_>;;)

That makes me wish I had my hotel room for tonight too. /cry.

Oh well. NEXT YEAR! I've got it for Friday-Sunday...but staying tonight would be fun too.
