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.

[Big Grin] Hurrah for it being almost the weekend! [Big Grin]

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...

No, it's the Halloween one. Well, in that case, it's here. (I'm the one *without* the flowers.)

You should post one from FASS this year though anyway, Dan. I'm sure everyone could use a good laugh.

I wonder what Eric would think of that picture. I think it would reinforce the conclusions about you that he has already drawn, Dan. [Wink]

This is probably the tenth time I've asked, but are you actually going to be at the con this weekend? [Razz]

And if you are, will you be wearing the flowers so Teshi and I can recognize you?

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 [Wink]

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.

I'm using twink's method of estimation... as far as I'm concerned, it's basically tomorrow.

Which means I should pack!

Which means I should finish the laundry!

Oh dear...

I put the last load of laundry in the dryer before I left for work.

And I got out my duffel bag! That's progress!

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've already decided what 'm going to wear (pretty much)

Except for the shirt. I'm deciding between my bright blue one or my Eat the Rich one.

It's a hard decision!

And the weather's looking up: high 15, low 4. Scattered showers.

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.

*LAUGH*

I think my hips are a bit bigger than twinky's.

I'm in Central, so I made the change for you... 7:00 Eastern would be good.

Only a little bit... and your shoulders may be a bit smaller.

I think that it'd be fine.. [Razz]

Hmmmm.... I do like that sunshine shirt he's wearing in one of his foobonic pics...

[Wink]

But with you reminding me to pack, I'm sure it won't be an issue. [Razz]

Besides, if I did forget anything, that would be an excuse to shop, not to steal from my roommate. [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Let's review.

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. [Smile]

Then on Saturday morning we convene and make for the Science Centre. [Smile]

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.

Desde, you should give your cell phone number to someone, too, so if we don't meet up easy we can call you.

I nominate not me. I don't do well with phone numbers. [Big Grin]

See, this is the only thing about this whole con that I'm unhappy with. Astaril, Des, and Sachi won't get to meet Clan Tick, Jaiden, or Pod. [Frown]

Teshi, ElJay and I will have to be cool enough to make up for it, I suppose. [Razz]

[Roll Eyes] Cellphones are a necessity.

Do Astaril/EL/the other person who's coming that I can't remember have cellphones?
