dr4b: (puzzle pirates McCarp)
First order of business: I'm going to Otakon. (This is mostly to [profile] sorakirei but maybe others will care). I get into BWI on Thursday Jul 29 at 4:45pm, and leave at 6pm on Sunday Aug 1. I'm figuring I'll just drive myself to and from the airport in Seattle unless someone is crazy enough to drive me there for a 6:30am flight on Thursday... So... Rebecca, now we just have to work out details :)

(And yes Mom, if you're reading this, we can probly work out something for getting dinner or breakfast or something, if you want to come up to Baltimore)

Second order of business: Pictures from the Puzzle Pirates Parties.

(Lejerque says: "I wanna forward these to some of my friends! Having an aproned hottie in one arm will only make me look more awesome.")

Third order of business:
Eh, today... today I hung out for a while with a sore throat, and well, I had vague plans with Kui to go hang out, and maybe go to the LAN Cafe in Berkeley and meet up with Cioj again, but, when 5:30 hit and I hadn't heard from Kui, I panicked and hopped a bus to the Caltrain station and took an express down to Mountain View, meeting up with [profile] zqfmbg at 7pm or so. We went to In-and-Out for dinner since I hadn't gone to one yet this trip, and talked a lot, and then went to SVGL, where I sucked ass at IIDX, and still didn't pass Silvia Drive 7K. On the other hand, I saw Ryan and Carisa and Andre and Crystal... I think this is the first time I saw Crystal since last September even. She was kicking butt at 14-key, it's so intimidating to see her pass Silvia Drive 14K when I can't do it on 7 :) Anyway, it was fun, and I got a ride back with Ryan and Carisa again... came home, packed, Jeff came back eventually, he's asleep, I've been logged into PP because I'm a dork, etc.

I did have fun, but I feel guilty because it turns out Kui waited around at work trying to call the house here looking for me for a while after 6pm... dang... makes me feel really bad... hopefully I'll see him on our way out of town, though.

I just won a swordfighting tourney in PP, though. To get there I had to beat Complicated in the semi-finals and Cioj in the finals. Dunno how I did it, but I did, and then I heard people were placing bets in the inn about it. Hee.
Ok, we just got over the Golden Gate, and are on our way up 101. I'll post fer time's sake when we hit Oregon...

We hit the border at 6:30 or so - but we were on highway 101 the whole way, so while we saw awesome cliffs and the ocean and stars and all... I didn't have any signal from about noon until about 10pm. Doh!

Well, anyway, we're in Eugene, gonna try to go hang out with Starhawk for a bit, then keep going. At any rate, we're alive and well and still heading up the coast. Whee.
