Status and Noto Updates

Got to sleep around 10pm last night. Got up around 6:30.

Granted… these times are now eastern. Which means my body gave out at 7pm and yanked me awake at 3:30 this morning.

We still have heard nothing from the airport concerning our Wardrobe. This has out formal clothes for the Notocon Banquet, my long sleeve ruffly shirts, and most importantly our Poi.

The latter of the which sucks because we were thinking of spinning on the Maine shore this morning.

Maine? Yesterday after getting in, We went to JP to visit with queenofhalves then off to Cambridge to Lunch with motive_nuance back to JP to pick up my travel file. Then off to dinner with shimmeringjemmy‘s Uncle and then off to crash in Maine with tailerouge. Due to scheduling the tattoo work for shimmeringjemmy from deanocturne should occur today.

Today we’re headed back towards Salem for Notocon. Hopefully our missing luggage and the shipped artwork will be there.

This evening is the Open house.

Anyone at Noto looking to reach me can txt my cell. It is again charged and the texting should be working 🙂

If you don’t have my cell: You can send me a text message via the link from my LJ profile. Please remember to include your cell phone # for return text msgs or at least an email you can readily check 🙂

In other news… I have tried the Facebook and found it to be a ‘Good Thing’&trade

My initial reservations were that it required you to be in one of its recognized networks. But this was my misunderstanding of the interface. I am unhappy that region networks are limited to Seattle, Bellevue, and (I think Bothell)… You’d think Redmond and Everett would be listed.

But other than that, I like the extensibility. Lots of things you can do with it beyond the default, and with effort lots of things you can add to it.

So at this point.. I’d like to invite as many readers as possible to go sign onto Face Book. (http://www.facebook.com)

i don’t get any credit for promoting it… But I definitely want to see what the environment is like with more people in my network. (Please note: I am only adding people that I know already. If I’ve met you online only through LJ, that’s OK. People discovering me for the first time in FaceBook… not so much.)

Our flight out was supposed to be first from Seattle to Las Vegas and then onto Boston on a RedEye. I’d thought the Vegas layover was 2 hrs. In fact it was one hour.

The Vegas flight is delayed. Therefore… we’ve been magickally transported to a direct flight on Alaska.

Sounds great, huh?

Not so much. Now we’re in the airport for another 3 hrs. (Fortunately, i have Board Room membership.. So at least the drinks and wifi will be free.)

But the real pain is getting seating at the last moment. There are 3 of us flying not counting the baby. We had seats together on USAir. Now… Now we are 3 rows apart each for 5 hours.

Hopefully the gate person will be able to assist us.

Not pleased.

Posting at 80mph….

New driver at 3pm. Just passing mile marker 43 as we approach Castle Rock.

What a weekend.

Some other skipped notes. Somewhere along the line between Friday and Sunday.. aiden_freeman had 3 teeth erupt. He’s now eating saltines.

elocinnuala picked up a very hot pair of blue horns.

shimmeringjemmy got a new outfit. Yum.

Missing everyone… And have some interesting interactions coming up when I return 🙂

Waves.

There will be a FW post forthcoming.

The camp site that clan sidhefire is staying at has no cell signal. Eugene, OR has cell signal, but not Sprint Edge (which gives me digital data)

My host and I have been trying to get me on his wifi which is stunningly well protected.

Finally got on for a few now. Catching up on email and the like.

FW post will hopefully be forthcoming.

Tricky Pixie absolutely rocks.

So.. niftiness. We are off to Norwescon.

We have an agenda this year.

1) Autographs from cmpriest
2) Scoping out the dealer’s room for ideas for shimmeringjemmy

Granted.. if we run into damiana_swan or herne51 that’s really not a horrible thing 😀

The nifty part of this post.. is that I’ve finally gotten my cell phone working as a portable modem. So we are literally en-route.

This means that we have IM and net on the go.

Yes, I really can be that level of geek.

But it’s con day… so there.
