Th Nov. 1: Visit the new Greek/Roman galleries at the Met with

Fr Nov. 2: Con starts. Tony Amendola and STEVE BACIC. Yum!

Su Nov. 4: MICHAEL SHANKS, CLIFF SIMON, and Kate Hewlett. Play in NYC with

janiekins, &

Mo Nov. 5: Fly home and collapse.

I'll have to dig out my Don Davis paraphernalia from

selmak and send off my camera for cleaning/service toot-sweet.

My plane tickets cost me $5 since I cashed in a wad of frequent flyer miles. Quite the savings over the nearly $400 it was going to cost otherwise. :)

Sunday night 8pm is when tricia, tricia's mom, janie and I will be going. It's all of $20.00 or so.

We'll pick up the train at secaucus and go from there. it's on 54th...

Nope Cliff wasn't my instructor. :)

As for the hotel, Creation's been contacted repeatedly by people I know, and they claim they're just moving the hotel to somewhere else in the NJ/NY area.

East rutherford hotel was ok, but the public bathrooms were horrendous. least Crowne Plaza keeps an eye on those.

Hmmm. This will be challenging my organizational skills. Can I pack Saturday night and stay organized on Sunday so that I can go into the City and still get up in the morning on Monday to make a flight.

I don't know 'bout the public restrooms as I only used my room. I remember the lighting *sucked* and I was glad to get away from it. But I'd rather have a hotel with lights AND elevators. But I'm weird that way, I suppose. ;)

I guess we'll know the truth when we hear whether or not they're pre-selling a con in 2008.

I'm very tempted. I'll have to go into The City anyway to eat, probably, as I'm convinced there is no edible food in Secaucus. (Excepting that sandwich shop.) I'd like to give it a definite "maybe." That's going to be a long week of traveling for me and I might well be wanting to sleep before trying to get to the airport early Monday morning.

OTOH, it's always a let down when the hotel empties and there's nobody around to play with after the con. Having a play to look forward to would be very nice. And by now, I'm an expert on getting to and from the hotel to Manhattan. Although I have my doubts as to what sort of theater we're talking, given that the ticket is only $20. :|

I'm regretting my cheapness in spending my frequent flyer miles. :( I could have gotten a later flight out if I'd been willing to use twice as many. Ah well. It's spilt milk now.
