So I'll be at Potlatch, in Portland, Oregon, the weekend of March 10th. If any of y'all are planning to be there, I'd love to buy ya a beer. Or coffee. Or some other beverage, if you're picky. :) Mostly, I love to meet AWers.

Oh.

I wish. I planned to go out of town later in March. I wonder if I can swing an earlier side trip to Portland. Hmm. Beer, huh?

Ohhh I want to go. I can't afford to. Next year maybe? Once I start making big sales!
So... next century.

I'll be a participant at the San Diego March con, ConDor, and if anyone is there I'd love to meet up!

someplace around here, anyone seen my keys?
I'm checking with my company travel folk to see if they can change the destination of my flight to Portland - I've got Friday afternoon off (have meetings until 11) and if I can get the flight changed, I'm coming.

I couldn't get back to San Jose early enough on the 9th to come in Friday night so I'm coming in Saturday morning around 9 am. I'll get checked in at my hotel and then come over to the con. Hopefully I'll be able to locate my fellow AWer's once I get there.

Yay!

I came down with the fun crud that was making the rounds at work, so I won't be able to make it after all. I'll be at Norwescon in a few weeks, though.

Pthom got some pics and he's promised to post them.

Dawno's con story:

A neat dozen of us gathered to go get dinner together. We left the convention hotel and started down the street. Dawno was in the middle of the group talking with Mac. Suddenly something hard and cold hits Dawno smack on the top of her nose. A splash goes into her left eye. She stops abruptly, somewhat stunned. Was it an icicle? No, it wasn't although for some reason that was her first confused thought.

Someone had tossed out a rather large ice cube from their hotel window. The group of diners was outraged at the event and supportive of Dawno who wound up with a small cut and a tiny lump on her nose. She bravely went forward and enjoyed a great dinner.

Fortunately, you endured in the face of adversity. :)

(you should have chucked it back)

The Three Musketeers . . .

. . . well, okay, no muskets, fancy hats or weird costumes. But these faces are happy in anticipation--we're on our way to get drinks.

Photos taken after this one aren't worth displaying--seems the photographer had the settings on his fancy digital camera all wrong.

You mean, other than the ice cube incident? No. Sorry.

It was really terrific to meet up with AW peeps. :) I've spent real-life time with Lisa and Dawno before, and it was fun to meet Peter since we've known each other on AW for years, now.

Next time, maybe, Spinnerin. :) I was sorry to have missed you.
