Technically, I think I'd be real anyway, since I've met EL before too. Though I'm not sure if we've really talked either. In any case, I'll be sure to rush, errr...rush the bus driver, so that I'll meet Teshi first and can watch twinky and ElJay race to be the second. Or something.
Right.
Hurrah for it being almost the weekend!
Edit: By the way, will you recognize me, or should I go find an online picture of myself somewhere? I guess this is aimed at twinky, since none of the rest of you have ever seen me. Hmm. Maybe I just answered my own question. I'll go look...

If it's the Halloween one I've already posted it here, so go nuts. Is it a FASS one? I don't think we were ever on stage together...

I wonder what Eric would think of that picture. I think it would reinforce the conclusions about you that he has already drawn, Dan.
This is probably the tenth time I've asked, but are you actually going to be at the con this weekend?

As of yesterday, when I last spoke with Asta about it, I wasn't planning on coming. You, however, should know better about asking me what my plans are any time before I'm actually supposed to be somewhere. If I'm there, I'm coming. But if I don't come, don't expect me

Well, to be fair, I *did* have to coerce him into letting me do that to his face. But on the other hand, it really didn't take all that much effort...

Thanks. (I used to be, well, let's underemphasize it and say 'mildly obsessed' with the musical Cats.) So, Dan, do you want to borrow the flowers if you come Friday then? I mean, it would definitely make things easier for recognizing people.

She had planned on bring a Christmas tree, but wound up going as someone who had spent too much time doing somebody else's makeup and so had to throw on something at the last second.
As for the flowers, you know it wouldn't make much coercing, but didn't they not survive the ceilidh?

We were so close to getting the tree outfit all glued/pinned together in time too. Ah well, your face was worth it. The medieval garb was probably easier to dance in anyway.
And no, I still have the flowers. They're fine. So that means you'll wear them? Well, now you *have* to come.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow I will be in Canada! And then the next day the Con 'officially' begins, and I will be meeting all of you fun people! Yay!

But really, I really hope it's not raining tonight, 'cause I want to mow the lawn before I leave, too. It's been a wet Spring, and the grass is just going crazy.

I have a general idea of what i'm going to pack. But I do have to pack tonight, 'cause I'm not going home tomorrow after work before going to the airport.

Thursday night I'm meeting ElJay at the airport and we are making our way to the hotel. On Friday we'll get on the bus->subway and meet Astaril and Teshi (and maybe BtL!) circa 1 PM at the Greyhound terminal, which is a few blocks' walk from the Bloor-Yonge subway station. We will cavort around downtown Toronto until 5 PM or so, when we will meet Des, Sachi, RD, and EL in front of the ROM. Then we will have dinner at the cool place Teshi scoped out, take in all the dinosaurs we can see at the ROM, and then ElJay, RD, and myself will attempt to persuade everyone else to go swing dancing at a place the fine folks over at the Lindy Hopper forums recommend (the Reservoir Lounge, which is downtown on Wellington street near Yonge). Des and Sachi won't be able to come because they're leaving early (9 PM or so, right Des?), so we will cry bitter tears but do our best to carry on. At maybe 10 PM we'll call the hotel to see if Clan Tick has arrived. At maybe 12 AM we'll call the hotel again to see if Jaiden and Pod have arrived. We will coordinate plans for meeting on Saturday morning and then when our feet are just too tired to dance anymore we will disperse (taking Teshi home first if it's late) and then retire.
If the dancing is ultimately voted down, just replace it with everyone going back to the hotel to play games.
Then on Saturday morning we convene and make for the Science Centre.

Okay. I'll email you and Jaiden when I get home from work so we can all swap reservation info (like, say, last names) so that we'll be able to reach one another in the hotel.
