Shit's all sorts of different now.

we interrupt this program to talk about MFN coming to LA

MARIA! What time are you getting in on Sunday?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I arrive at 4:25 pm at LAX, which still leaves a good part of Sunday to do stuff.

Wheee! Are you renting a car?

Nope. I was going to take a shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and transportation between the hotel and convention center is taken care of. One of my co-workers usually rents a car big enough for all of us if we need to go somewhere in the evening, so I don't have approval for one.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

does the hellish summer weather in NYC start by then?

Hard to say -- Mem Day weekend this year was sunny and hot (high 80's), but the past couple days have been cold and rainy.

True, but the famous hell heat is generally August and can bleed into July and September. August is when you can't get a shrink though -- if you're crazy you'd better be in the Hamptons. (heh, I've heard it joked more than once that if the terrorists knew ANYTHING about New Yorkers they'd have hit us two weeks earlier. We'd have been utterly helpless.)

Kay. We'll figure out a way to see you either that day or Monday. Plus, like I said, my building is connected to your hotel...

Hmm. Aims, how's parking around the hotel? I just called the Westin and guest parking is $25/day, but I've found a rental car for 11 bucks a day, which I could totally cover myself. The parking is what's going to kill me, because I won't be able to expense it.

looks around

It's possible I could get you free parking at the garage my building owns that across the street from the hotel.

That's the thing with the Northeast. You just never know what the weather is going to do.

ETA: MARIA! I have to see you while you're here.

You do that, and I'll rent the car. This way no one has to be inconvenienced.

Of course you do! I must see you and Drew as well.
