Had plans to meet with  hunterbahamut for dinner, but things didn't go as planned.

I had stopped coming to Anthrocon on Thursdays in 2008 when I discovered there wasn't a single thing to do. The venue, The David L. Lawrence Convention Center (hereto after referred to as DLCC) is a union shop, the union sets up all of the things that the con staff and volunteers (I was a volunteer in those days) used to do before their move to Pittsburgh. So I would truck in on Fridays. When I finally became a staff member, when I could I would come in on Thursday nights to attend the staff meeting.

Well, now apparently there IS stuff the staff and volunteers can do. But I had to miss out, I didn't gI drove in and parked, went to the art show to help out. By the time I got out pushing 8 PM-ish, I ran into HB with his roommate at the shuttle stop outside, already eaten, on their way back to the hotel.

Fuck me.

So I hit The Zoo for a bit, ran into  roadrodent and we had a good chat until I realized I had missed 16 minutes of the staff meeting! I ran down and couldn't find the room, and pretty much assumed, erroneously or not, that I missed it.

So, back to the room via Primanti Brothers for a sandwich. Shouldn't have eaten it all, but I did. And now I'm ready to turn in. I hate turning in this early, but it's a working day for The Teeming Millions tomorrow and since I stay at a hotel on the outskirts, I have to find my way in through morning rush to meet up for breakfast with the rest of the art show staff.
