Back to hotel for VERY fast dropoff, then back to airport to get Pete and Jilli, who arrive one-ish. Venters, ideally, what I'd like is a curbside pickup, so as to not have to hand them another seven or so dollars for parking - is that okay? I'll have my cell with me.

Yes, we'll be curbside. What color & make is your car?

Not to mess you up, Deb, but I could make one of those airport runs if you like. If it's easier to stick to your plan as is that's fine, but if you'd like a break I could do one.

I'll probably be hanging around the HS on Thursday afternoon too.

Hec, the Jeeveses pickup would be superb. And unlike me, you can tell Pete what colour and make the car is; I'll be driving Vortex's rental, and I haven't seen it yet.

Back to work.

Score!

Jeevses, to the email cave to trade cell numbers and your flight info!

::note to self - clean out trunk to make room for Jilli's luggage. Maybe need trailer rental?::

Pete, the car is a recent model taupe-ish Chrysler Sebring. Pretty much the most generic car you can imagine.

Also, I don't have your email, so you should ping me at my profile addy.

Epic, if you're reading, it occurred to me that my DH and I can bring clothes to you for the trip to Jail -- we'll be meeting everyone at the boat and you won't have to carry it around all day.

This is also a good plan.

Started trying to pack last night in my medium suitcase. Once my box o'tiaras, a few books for deb to autograph, and my Prom stuff were in, it was 3/4 full. I'll have to re-purpose into my big suitcase tonight.

Sparky, when you see said suitcase, I promise I'm not trying to move in permanently. Honest.

Hec, did I give you my flight info? I have no brain today.

You did not, you lazy slug.

See, I swear that we e-mailed about it, but maybe it was just about the idea of picking me up, devoid of actual factual information.

Okay, e-mailing momentarily.

just walked Tom to the convention center, walked up Grant Street and wandered up through Chinatown. Stuff's still quiet in the morning, but it was a nice walk.

What should I do today? There is some vague possible plan for meeting L and her dad for lunch, or something, but I don't know if or when that is happening. So, I am footloose and fancy free.

Report: gin martini at Zam Zam was excellent. Although we discovered that there is a reason Tom sticks to beer. JZ is beautiful and glowing and I feel terrible for keeping her out far too late. She did not fear my fists of fury, though, which is good, because I shook them at her as my fists of emphasis, and then felt inappropriately aggressive.
