The upcoming trip -- NJ, NYC, yadda

[hsapiens]

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 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 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 yams69's house in NJ. Meet the newest Honorary Texan. :)
Monday, 29 Oct: Mutter Museum in Philadelphia with yams69, wife, and the Magnificent Ms. M. jalabert -- you're planning to go with us, yes?
Tuesday, 30 Oct: Motor to mcroft and 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 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 selmak, janiekins, 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.

yams69, mcroft, and 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 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. :)

Um, yeah, I did pass reading comprehension. Gods know how.

I now see that you told me "8 p.m. on Thursday" so the dinner thing is out. Bummer. We could still do breakfast on Friday, if you so wanted. Or lunch since nothing's going on until 1 p.m. I wouldn't mind sleeping in at least one day while I'm on vacation.

breakfast and lunch is doable on Friday.

The Gateworld group is doing Cheeseburgers in Paradise for lunch, and Janet and I wouldn't mind giving you a ride.

Do they have anything you might be able to eat? I know we went there last year, but I had some crazy vegan screaming meat is murder from my back seat, and I nearly left AtomicPagan on the sidewalk :P

Google is my friend. :) I see from their menu that they'll do a veggie patty in any burger so they DEFINITELY have Me-Friendly food. I'd love to tag along. :) Thank you!

Was this vegan somehow under the impression that everyone was going to a vegan restaurant? While I'm very serious about being a vegetarian I wouldn't dream of being one of those annoying prats who believes it's my job to preach my morals to y'all.

no, she thought she was being funny. But since was screeching in my ear, WE* WERE NOT AMUSED


*we being the Royal pronoun for Helena & Selmak.

What a maroon. The self-righteous prat. I hate that behavior because it gives vegetarians a bad name. We aren't all proselytizing assholes. Really. :)
