It's 2C and raining here in the Sault. Not exactly the weather I'd envisioned setting out for Penguicon 6.0 in, but I can deal. (Besides, it's supposed to abate once I get clear of the UP.)
I'm setting out on the drive before the sun comes up in an attempt to get some running around done before con, because the last thing you want to do while things are in full swing is to take a break to go pick up some stuff you need to buy. In an ideal world, I'd be able to update this post to log my progress every little while, but I think the wifi-enabled stops are going to be few and far between, so we'll see what happens.
See you all there!
Update 1, 1052h: In West Branch at Java Junction. Things going well so far; good breakfast at the Sugar Bowl in Gaylord and lots of coffee enroute. I think I'm on-schedule for an afternoon arrival in Troy.
Update 2, 1338h: Clearing out of Birch Run now. That sums up everything I really have to do before checking in to the hotel.
Update 3, 1520h: I'm here! Things are in swing already. I have to move the car and get a segway or something, because I'm waaay the hell down at the far end of the hotel. See you all in a sec!
