mornin' soldiers.

My dumb ass decided to get a head start on the Con and have a little practice run of the Vortex Crawl last night. Even through my preventative measures, my head still hurts a bit this morning.

Yay for Canter being here, and yay for Magda arriving in 15 hours!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Consider it a live fire exercise in anticipation of Dragon Con Jimi.

Hardly seems possible that this was just an idea back in November. Amazing how much we have grown. I want to thank everyone involved, and I look forward to marching with everyone!

I still have to pack and make cookies. I didn't really sleep last night, due to fighting and other things.

Damn Jimi. Sorry to hear about the lack of sleep and the fighting. We'll talk (and drink!) about it in Hotlanta bud.



Mornin' Soldiers. I said MORNIN' SOLDIERS!!!

That's better.

Well, it's upon us. I am taking off early today to go home and do last minute packing and the like. I leave tomorrow morning before the sun comes up and will be meeting some local browncoats in Columbia, SC for supper tomorrow. Thursday morning bright and early I'll be rolling South towards Atlanta. I will be in town from noon on but won't hit the Hyatt until around 2:30 or 3:00 if anyone wants to reach me.

It'll be damn fine to meet those I have not met yet and even shinier to see those I already have.

See you soon troops.

SO dying to be there to hug Magda and Canter and Tristan and all the rest of y'all, but totally stuck here. I know the 76th is going to make a good showing.

Last year, as the holiday sank slowly in the West some doofus on network TV was reviewing things people had done over Labor Day, with an eye (I guessed) to what to do next (now "this") year. He said something to the effect of if all else fails you can go to Atlanta to a Star Wars convention.

What???????

Well, the 501st may show up but there will be the 76th, representing, and if you see any TV anchormen just glomp 'em, troops. They won't make that mistake again.

Somebody with a camera should start a new thread when the festivities get going, cause new threads load faster -- until they don't.

We will miss seeing you, Bun! Next year, maybe?

Glomping. We can do glomping.
And hey, maybe next year they'll say you can see the Firefly convention in Atlanta! Between the SEBC and the 76th, I think we are fielding close to 80 marching Browncoats! How shiny is that?

Oh, yeah...and panic time for one more day left...and still not done with the sewing or packing. AHHH!!!!

>close to 80 marching Browncoats! How shiny is that?
Man, that are a street full! What y'all would call "a presence."

This year, gorrammit, this year. :;-)

>Glomping. We can do glomping.
I wonder if there's a proper order in the drill?
You'd have to break ranks, surround, glomp. H'mmmm.

>We will miss seeing you, Bun! Next year, maybe?
In my heart I am at all of them, so if you see a heart wandering free it might be mine. Step carefully over it.

Now, I hope all acts are firmly together with all the bits and pieces packed and nobody lookin' like a mad bomber, lots of camera batteries and your allergy meds and miscellaneous necessities safely stowed and y'all are safely en route.

The bun is no stranger to last-minute-itis and feels deeply for you.

Awwwwww....
I feel so -- sort of -- erm -- enveloped --
No need for sheepishness.
It makes Tikal jealous.
Let him give you a big hug and a juicy llamasmooch on your sweet face.
There. Now you can feel llama-ish.
Which is to say tall, proud and furry.

Now I'm rambling off to a (for now)shorter thread to slobberate D*C with every bit of vicariousness I can muster up.
