Loading in your games to the venue, dumbass. YOUR GAMES!

So what time should I pick you up at the airport and take you to HaRuMaN's?

Oh, and STILL RELEVANT....

I also go to a full body masseuse separately but that is another story (and more expensive).

I'm glad this story had a ...

... happy ending.

One more thing, if you are planning to go to ZapCon but didn't buy a shirt but want a BYOAC badge, let me know before 3:00 tomorrow (16th). I'd like for any BYOACers to have one.

Also, you're certainly invited to Friday night's hootenanny.  Just let me know.
