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. :)

They supposedly sent out the last batch of tixs out yesterday, as NOBODY I know has gotten them. They are offering a Friday night dinner with Tony and Alexis for $65.00. did you see that?

Janet and I will be at the hotel around 8:00 PM thursday night.

I received an autog ticket for the Burbank con the same weekend. They didn't include the photo op ticket, and I haven't received the typical email you print out either. I was going to call them today. (I hadn't bought the general admission ticket at the time I bought the others, because I wasn't sure at the time if I was just going to go for Sunday or go for the whole weekend.

While we will be happy to host, I'm pretty sure mcroft will have to work. He's running short of days off due to project: austin.

Also, the place will be a bit of a wreck because we're sorting what goes and what doesn't.

I got your earlier comment about skipping the parade to do dinner. I hope you don't have to do that. Maybe you can make it into Manhattan early enough to make it a late lunch or early dinner, so you still have time to catch the parade? Either way, I definitely vote for going to an awesome vegetarian restaurant and having good food. :)

If for any reason you decide to come into New York a day early, no need to book an extra hotel room. You're welcome to stay here Tuesday night.

I'm driving down to the hotel probably sometime Friday morning and then I'm hanging out 'til sometime Sunday...I have no plans outside of events whatsoever once I'm there, so if there's any meet-ups happening that you don't mind people crashing, I'd love to meet some people and say hello!

And P.S., no tickets either.

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.

Schedule looks good to me! As for the train for jalabert on Sunday, if you're coming up from the south, I think Princeton Junction is probably the best bet in terms of a decent station roughly on the way. My knowledge of NJ geography is still pretty sketchy, though, so I would need to be at a map to properly navigate you there and to us. M would probably be a better help than I am on that.

Have a safe trip; we'll see you soon!
