Uneventful drive down on friday. Stopped at the TableTalk Pie plant in Worcester on the way and picked up three cases of pies they donated. Yay! PIE!
Got to the hotel shortly after noontime. To no surprise whatsoever, my room reservation was still screwed up. Didn't get the minisuite, didn't get the roll in shower room, but she was able to move me to a regular room on the first floor in the party block. Schlepped in all my luggage and the party stuff. Not really enough room, so I'll have to be creative.
Dealt blackjack in the game room friday evening, DaveC was also dealing. No tournament, just casual game, which was much lower stress than dealing a tournament and having to be all over the players enforcing the rules. Reasonably successful, but lower attendance than the tournament. Much more enjoyable on my part. Turned in before midnight.
Woke up saturday morning. Lazed about the room watching CNN and weather channel as I was waking. Was just about to get in the shower when the fire alarm went off. So, quick like a bunny, get dressed and head outside. Got harassed and herded by con security as they attempted to help the fire department. All clear sounded and went back inside. Milled about the hotel for a bit and then decided to go get food. It had started raining, so decided to hit a drive-thru. Brought my burger back to the hotel and ate there. Shared out some pies in the common area also.
The gifts of beer were given to their intended recipients. Spent piles of money in the dealers room. Got my new badge and copy of the bartender book from Tabbiewolf. Pleased with both of them.
Back in the room now, took my delayed shower, and now getting ready to reemerge back to the con to see what there is to do in the afternoon. take out chinese for supper and then it's time for the party. 7pm, room 127, see you tonight.
