Costume-Con Move-In
I got to the Doubletree without incident and snagged one of the better parking spaces. (Which means of course that I am trapped and cannot drive away without losing my prime space.) Just as I was checking in, jbriggs, who is my deputy in Site Selection, found me, and helped me move into my hotel room. He went off to see about our Site Selection table while I unpacked and donned my WSFS uniform. I then wheeled the Site Selection material down to the desk, stopping to collect a cash box. We were ready to go by the published schedule time of 3 PM, but there wasn't exactly a gang of costume SMOFS waiting to vote. In fact, we didn't take any ballots until just after 5 PM.
I had picked up a sandwich from Subway on the way to the hotel, and was able to eat it while not fighting off voters with sticks. Alas, my blood sugar is high again -- 198. Not being able to go for a walk right after eating is taking a toll on me. Next week I resolve to get out and walk more often.
My location here should be pretty good for seeing the convention go past me. I've already taken a few photos, but I've left the camera-to-PC connector up in the room so I can't post them.
