The upcoming trip -- NJ, NYC, yadda

Has anyone received tickets yet for the Con in NJ? I haven't yet but I've dug out my statements and printed copies to have in hand when Creation inevitably bungles the tickets.

So, here's the final itinerary I've come up with. Not a whole lot of changes. I need to get to NYC earlier than planned so that I can catch dinner with [livejournal.com profile] la_directora before she takes off to work on a film. I've added in a side trip to the Smithsonian this coming Sunday, though I know it'll make me weep for all of the stuff I *won't* have a chance to see.

Friday, 26 Oct: Arrive Newark 10:50 a.m. Drive with [livejournal.com profile] jalabert to Maryland. Lunch or dinner in Delaware maybe? I haven't ever been to Delaware!
Saturday, 27 Oct: Underground Railroad exhibit at the Baltimore Historical Society.
Sunday, 28 Oct: SMITHSONIAN!!!!! Drive to [livejournal.com profile] yams69's house in NJ. Meet the newest Honorary Texan. :)
Monday, 29 Oct: Mutter Museum in Philadelphia with [livejournal.com profile] yams69, wife, and the Magnificent Ms. M. [livejournal.com profile] jalabert -- you're planning to go with us, yes?
Tuesday, 30 Oct: Motor to [livejournal.com profile] mcroft and [livejournal.com profile] immlass's abode in slightly less rural NJ. Visit, kibbitz, tour the area. Chill.
Wednesday, 31 Oct: Check into con hotel, leave luggage with front desk, return car to Newark airport, catch the train or something to Manhattan. Meet [livejournal.com profile] la_directora for dinner. Halloween Parade!
Thursday, 1 Nov: The Met. Maybe the Cloisters.
Friday, 2 Nov: The con.
Saturday, 3 Nov: The con. Pack to go home.
Sunday, 4 Nov: The con. Kate Hewlett play with [livejournal.com profile] selmak, [livejournal.com profile] janiekins, [livejournal.com profile] triciabyrne1978, and her mother. Unless they see me first and run fast enough to escape. ;) I'm betting with Tricia's heart, though, that I'd catch y'all. ;)
Monday, 5 Nov: Fly back to Houston.

[livejournal.com profile] yams69, [livejournal.com profile] mcroft, and [livejournal.com profile] immlass -- PLEASE look over this schedule and make certain it still works for you. If not, don't be shy about telling me. I can happily adjust so that I spend more time at the Smithsonian or I can go to Manhattan a day earlier and catch more time with [livejournal.com profile] la_directora, maybe a full day at the Cloisters or some time at the Frick? There's always more to do than I have time so you won't hurt my feelings. :)

I have to be on campus early Monday morning for a breakfast meeting, so I suppose you'll have to dump me at a train station somewhere in NJ enroute to Flemington. I'd love to see the Mutter, but I'll be tied up in meetings until 2 p.m.

:( :( :( I was looking forward to looking at grotesque bits of bodies with you. Bummer. Bummer. Bummer. *pouts* OK, I'll talk to K and figure out which station is the best to take you to on Sunday evening.
