Okay, I'm bumping the rooming list, just because over in this thread, Primal Curve reports that he is not going to be able to come.

quote:

Er, F-girl, Richard's replaced me as regards the Frisco room. Kinda like a stunt double, only more likely to get Kama naked.

Well.

Yeah, anyway, is Jonny pretty cute? Or is it just me? You're not beating out Sean Connery or Leslie Nielsen for the when-I-go-gay list, but you're a stinking cutie anyway, baby.

Guess you'll never really know, will you? KAMA may be real (or as real as a cybernetic organism can get), but you're still in question, young man. You start off by giving us all these romantic visions of mister rugged biker, and then just punk out. You're still a figment of some phantasmagorical surreality.

And I'm getting compared with Sean Connery and Leslie Nielsen? I guess I really AM old. [Razz]

I show BtL in T_Smith's room. In fact, I originally think I had him on twice -- once as Cyberdan and once as BtL until I figured out they were the same person.

See, once upon a time I would have simply said it as Farmgirl did in her last post. But the OoC thread has broken me of that habit. [Wink] So now I just post things that make no sense . . .

BtL had to bail because of work-related deadlines, actually. *bummed*

Heh, whoa, let's not go flattering ourselves, here. You're cute for a man (don't swell with too much pride, we're a hideous gender), but you just aren't anywhere near Sean Connery of Leslie Nielsen, my, sigh, true loves...

Heh, 4 rills, dude, if Leslie Nielsen proposed you, you wouldn't accept? He does wear protection!

Heh, god, that movie had me screaming (which, yeah, is disturbing to say after declaring my lust for Leslie Nielsen, I realize). I LOVE THAT MAN.

if that boy doesn't have a room, I'm going to drag him into ours.

Had an Idea that maybe we should play mafia at this gathering. Of course, I have no idea how a real life mafia game works. But seeing novak paranoia in the flesh would be interesting.

I think Zevlag DID say he called and reserved a room -- I'm just not sure who to list as with his room. So I guess we'll just leave that open and figure it all out in Chicago.

Only 3 more days before I start driving that way!

my buddies over in the investment side of the bank told me I'd better purchase my gasoline for the trip before tomorrow night.... [Angst]

Thing is -- if I hurry and buy gas before the big price rise -- it will still all be gone before I leave for Chicago at the end of the week. Yes, it's that big of a commute.

Why must the markets do this right during before our big driving weekend? [Grumble]

I think the markets do it specifically because they know it's a big driving weekend. And because, by definition, investment bankers are evil.

Ok -- we're leaving for the airport in ten minutes. I doubt we'll post during Kamacon (though I'm sure many will), and we'll probably be incommunicado for a week after that, and then need a day to recover. We'll miss you guys.

<Excited about going to Kamacon.>

The Moose have safely arrived at O'Hare. They are in the process of navigating the taxi system and getting to the hotel.

hehe, I found a way to get online, yay!

I DO have a room. At this point Jenny Gardener is in it with me. The Tick says "I'm all set for now. " in reply to an email I sent, so he's not with in this room.

I will try to check in twice tomorrow, but not sure when. I will be out of here early Friday morning. Yay!

5:20 AM Thurs:

We are heading out the door for the 12.5 hour drive. Be praying for us that all goes safely. I'm going to have to let Ivygirl drive some of it, since I'm really beat.

We will be staying the night in a Chicago suburb with my sister, then we will see you all tomorrow morning, bright and early!

Hmmm, not sure if I have any clean clothes myself. At least not the ones I'd normally wear. Ah, well, I'll find something. And I'm not leaving till 5 or so. Lets see, work till 4, get oil changed, go home, pack, leave, forget something, go home and get it. Yeah, I can do that all by 5. [Eek!]

ROTFL. I just started a load of laundry myself. I think there are enough clothes for about three loads (I'm washing Steve's too). I have no clean blue jeans. I had planned to get up this morning and be productive. Didn't happen. Got up at 10:30 after calling in sick at 8am.

Now I have to squeeze a lot more things into this afternoon and evening, but I think it will work out. I've got to pick up Nathan/T-smith in about 2 hours, and I've just realized while I said I'd be there he may or may not know what vehicle to look for. And while I've seen his pictures I don't know if I will actually recognize him.

Then I've got to drive out to Rockford to drop my dog off since he's got a dog show this weekend. (Oh yeah and Jake needs a bath before I go, but I just hit the shower and tub with mildew spray so it isn't quite as nasty.)

And while portions of the house have been decluttered, there's still cleaning like vaccuming up the dog hair so it isn't nasty and disgusting to everyone else to get done.

Oh well. I have this feeling, like I used to get with class projects, that it will all get done, I just don't know how yet.

When I was getting picked up by people I'd never seen before I took a broomstick and some bristol board on the plane with me. Armed with a pack of crayons and some tape a wrote DAN in big letters arrows pointing down and attached it to the stick. The best part was that there were all of 3 other people on the flight so it wouldn't have been that hard to pick me up. Still, I had fun doing it.

When Olivia picked me up from the airport, we used our cell phones to hone in on each other.

And then discovered were wearing identical outfits. That was hilarious - I think we were both so nervous. I know I was. The only reason I'm not crazy nervous now is because I'm refusing to think about it.

Nervous, what's that? But seriously, I'm not nervous. Well maybe a liitle, I have to be up at at 4:30am at the VERY latest in order to catch my flight, and it's going to be a really late night. So, sleep or no sleep? I don't want to be dead on Friday, I don't want to miss my flight, sounds like a few hours on the plane is my best bet.

*bounce*

I am so excited!

I'm so glad to hear that everyone else is nervous. I've been sweating bullets all day.

I've met people from here online before so I'm not too scared. I mean, if they didn't bother to kill me the first two times, why would they kill me now...although, this is a different group of people, and the fact that I haven't met internet psychos yet, likely increases the probability of meeting some this time. Btw, I have so told my housemates where I will be going, and they know to start the nationwide manhunt for my killers if I don't show up on time, so no funny business, okay?

And I've met Ralphie, so meeting anyone else will be anticlimactic. Although, meeting all these other famous Hatrack personalities will be pretty freaky.

I am NEVER packed that long in advance, but I knew I had zero time to pack today. Actually dropped the luggage off at my parents' this morning rather than shlep it all over town.
