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. :)

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. :)
