It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yes, please. If you haven't sent me arrival info, PLEASE do that thing.

Also, there will be a master list of cell numbers and - once they're fully assigned on check-in - room numbers, posted in the HS.

If I must, Empress.

Any ideas on if you need crash space Thursday night? There is room for all 5 of you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

ND and Kristin have a hotel room. The $ for that night is pushing it for us, so we will need space, if still available, for us 3. They can drop us off.

That can work! We can take the rest of the arrangements offline...

All your Emalines belong to me!

Always Anti-fascist!

We are looking at being in town Thursday night, but will probably not see anyone till Friday as will have long drive with Loud Person(Mom's companion, who tends to speak as if life were a rock concert...he's a nice guy, I'm just warning ya...twelve hours of "Dude, I'm right *here* might mess with my social Zen. Also, it might take the full twelve, as Mom is not likely to leadfoot like my friend K. eight years ago.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but I'm bummed about missing Saturday Morning Geek Cartoons in our jammas.

Did we want to do this again this year? Perhaps after the readings? I think it would be fun, and could bring Animaniacs again, and a selection of other things guaranteed to entertain.

I was going to ask, will we have both a VCR and a DVD player in the hospitality suite, or just a DVD player?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Did we want to do this again this year? Perhaps after the readings?

That might make a decent lead-in for readings, actually, since it's more of a drop in as you awake kind of thing, and then maybe readings once a suitable crowd has built up? Unless there are conflicts - I haven't really been following out of a reluctance to structure too much time this far in advance.

I was planning on bringing a bunch of cartoons myself; cartoon watching will probably happen one way or another.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I like Brenda's plan as a lead-in to the readings which can be once we reach a critical mass of sleepyheads. We can start the cartoons early to catch the first risers.

What're you bringing Mr. Scola?

The main thing I'm bringing is Read or Die, which I've already shown to Trudy and Debet, which is a Japanese anime about a bibliophilic superheroine, and is one of the coolest things ever. If I have room in my suitcase I might throw in some Batman and/or Justice League DVDs.

I also have my eye on the Electric Company DVDs, which if I buy, I will bring along with me.
