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.

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

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.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Regrading dates for next year, I can tell you one weekend that is RIGHT OUT for me. The weekend of June 22-24 2007 is when we are running Conterpoint 2007(the DC incarnation of the east coast filk con), so please avoid that weekend. (I will be mighty pissed off if the F2F is on my own fucking coast and I can't attend)
