Planning holidays in North America 2013...

[Lester Curtis]

I have to think about it. That's within driving distance; just don't know about the room rates yet. Having more people there (from AnotheRealm) would be good -- maybe get some folks from C&C in on it?

[Lester Curtis]

I've posted an invitation to the folks at Creator and the Catalyst to join up with us there, too. Oh, yeah -- I've decided to attend.

I'm very much looking forward to this. It's always a delight, and the possibility of meeting other writers has me very excited.

[Lester Curtis]

I've sent word to Mark, and I have a thread at C&C about this. Now all we need is to know what time to be there.

[Lester Curtis]

I'll be driving into Pittsburgh sometime in the afternnoon; maybe have time to hang out before dinner if I can find you guys. I'll stick around until about 11:00 PM and then hit the road for home; that will save me the price of a room for the night.

Sergio, If I can remember to bring it, I'll have a little gift for you.

I hope some other people show up. C'mon, folks, the more the merrier!

[Lester Curtis]

Okay, I'll be there sometime in the afternoon -- maybe 3:00 or 4:00; so as to join you for dinner. If you're going to be out sightseeing then, leave a message for me at the hotel's front desk, or call me so I can find you.

[Lester Curtis]

Did I hear someone say, "Pictures, or it didn't happen"?

Here are a few.

Michele had to leave early to catch her bus for home, but Sergio and I had dinner together and got to yak for a good while.

Next year: Columbus, and hopefully we can convince a few more people to show up; there will be a comics convention there, and we want to incorporate that into the fun.

Oh, yeah -- if you have to go to Pittsburgh, don't drive yourself if you can help it. Only about a fourth or less of the streets are labeled. I got lost coming and going.

[Lester Curtis]

You all look well.
Only question: is that Cthulhu to the right of Michele's head in the first picture?

John

I don't know, but judging from the street layout, it wouldn't surprise me if he'd been one of their road commissioners.

[Lester Curtis]

The thing on the wall looked like the Eternal Spaghetti Monster to me.

Get some respect for people's religions, Boozer.

That's FLYING Spaghetti Monster. With two big meatballs.
