Microtel Base reporting
Five-hour drive to Technicon – not from home, mind you, that would have been six – from NASA Langley. (This is why the car was packed last night.) I might have shaved off half an hour were it not for some kind of road work happening on I-81 between Roanoke and Blacksburg. But it’s no big deal. I am super special-plus tired though.
The Microtel is well named. This may be the smallest hotel room in which I’ve stayed, though it’s nice and clean. Glad I’m not trying to run any con events in the room. The good news is that the clerk said that wireless was “spotty” on the third floor, yet I seem to be getting a fairly good signal. So that’s nice.
I am here today because I promised I would show up, and because you, my fandom friends, are awesome people whom I miss. I don’t drive five hours for just anything 🙂

205 here. I’m having lunch with the folks tomorrow but after that will be around. If you don’t have my cell phone number leave me yours as a message to my room. I would love to explain the cryptic posts to you soon. 🙂
Make sure you keep in touch by txt or phone this weekend. I’ll be at your pen name panel, and at White Plectrum most definitely. But I’m trying to cram some family time in there too, so I might be more scarce than usually and I want to make sure to see my friends : )
