Right, well anyway

I did some things, watched some things and feared some things.

On with the story I guess.

Driving driving driving. It goes faster when you're stressed and slightly paniced. At least that is my recollection.

I got there and tried to figure out a good place to park. I was pretty tired by that time. I made it to the hotel.

Talked to the person at the desk and yes the convention rate is infact applied and I do have a fridge for my medical needs in my room.

We'll just take your card. Putting the cost of the entire stay plus 50 percent on it, the latter will be returned at the end of the stay or within several bussiness days.

Wait what?

So after emptiing most of the money from my pockets to make my bank accounts match to the needed cost we will be running an additional 50%. It's a bit late to be tossing that at me now.

But it went through. I'm assuming because they went with credit card rather then debit.

Anyway I went to get my badge for the con, and eat. Then I went to figure out parking arrangments. Turns out it's 18 dollars a day max charge or you could buy a thursday through 6pm sunday pass for 60. Or a friday through 6pm sunday for 40. Unless my math is very very off, I think I'll pay the daily rate for thursday (especially since I was there for all of five hours before it was friday) and get a friday to sunday pass.

Only that would be all my money. I mean all of it.

But A lovely freind and supporter of mine was more then generous about it. And for that I shall get her back, mwah ha ha ha.

So glory onto the finally bloody there and set. Now It's time to work on several of the projects that need finishing and to prepare to get going early (for me anyway) the next morning.

Fortunately I remembered my loose change bin in my trunk. Never made it in from the last time I moved. Not counting pennies... 30 something dollars. Now I can give change at the table. and counting change is soothing in some ways.

Assemble the ready componants for ray gun... well two of each model to start with anyway. Get materials for Sigils runes and sacred geometry panel, pack up wheely crate (can't believe somebody tried throwing this away a year ago, it's so useful) and try to sleep.

So Ended the getting there part of the trip.

I shall return to the story in time.
Take care of yourselves.
