Thank you! Where in Brooklyn are you in relation to the Brooklyn Museum? I went to the Brooklyn Museum this time - excellent neolithic Egyptian stuff if that sort of thing rocks your boat - so maybe I wasn't as far away from you as I thought?

Also, walked around and saw the Grand Army Plaza (no pics because I was on achy feet, exhausted, and not thinking well) and the under renovation library. Had a bagel at a local breakfast joint that served organic coffee and organic milk/soymilk. My kind of place. :)

I will plan to take you up on this offer next year. Once I go to the con I'll go to the hotel because the days are very full and that's being a craptastic guest. I'd much rather spend money taking friends out for "thank you" dinners than on hotel fees. For the record? I adore cats. :) Thank you for your very generous offer! *hugs*
