In San Antonio

[rattfan]

San Antonio, Texas, I am in you.
Survived plane ride from helll (ie normal) and was awake for most of 40 hours, I think. Am fine now. Hi to Ann and Ben in Denver. Will see you soon! I am sitting in a large and rather elegant convention centre waiting for Stuff to start, people-watching and just chilling. Haven't seen anyone I know yet. Did meet some nice fans at LAX and shared a cab to the hotel with them yesterday afternoon.

Had a shakeup I didn't need when my Visa card refused to work. I know it is ok because I eventually pulled the money out of an ATM, in $200 lots because it wouldn't hand it out in any larger chunks. Sweated blood for awhile in the Marriott's lobby trying to find a solution; could see self on the streets. Gah. Anyway, am now paid up.

This is a beautiful city, very green and with a lovely small river right by the hotel and this centre. I can see it flowing behind me - am leaning on a floor length window in the main hall. People beginning to gather in larger packs; soon panels to start and dealer's room to open!

Thanks for posting! Glad you made it to Texas, hope your card is sorted out now. What a scare!

Have a great Worldcon! Our reservations for dinner @ Maria's in Santa Fe are confirmed, so there's a margarita to die/kill for in your future.

Thanks. Btw, what do you think Ben might like from the dealer's room? If t shirt, what size? I found Thing for u but no clue re Ben :-)

Probably size L, unless shirts look rather smallish. Then go with XL. Ben likes Lovecraft as much as I do -- also Trek, Blakes 7, Andromeda, Farscape, The Prisoner. If there's other vintage TV stuff around though, look for anything Rat Patrol. The show is ancient, but he's gotten addicted to it on Netflix.
