I'll be gone this weekend to MoCCA, in New York City. Be back Sunday evening, exhausted but with loot and pics.

Sorry to the RP folks, this summer maybe wasn't the brightest time to start running an RP, huh?

Damn, looking through the pics to upload them's been making me want to go back to New York City ( Read more... )

I accumulated a rather silly amount of random paper on my trip. Ticket stubs, receipts, maps, flyers, all sorts of assorted cruft that found its way into my pockets and thence into the big pocket on the front of my suitcase.

I imagine it's not that hard to strip it out, but I just noticed it when I was uploading some pics to flickr so I can start posting things about my trip.

Okay, anybody have suggestions for CDs or books to take with me? I think my book mix is pretty set, though. I'm gonna bring Earth, by David Brin, Perdido Street Station, and I have several candidates for the third one ( Read more... )

Okay, so, stuff I need to take on my trip ( Read more... )

Current Itinerary, tentative:

June 9-14, NYC/MoCCA
June 15-19, Milwaukee etc
June 20-26 Seattle, WA

I still need to get confirmation on a couple things, but it looks like train to NYC, bus to Milwaukee, then I have to resort to planes to Seattle and back. Anybody in the area who knows of awesome things to do any of those times, let me know!
