Driving To CoastCon
Mar. 4th, 2010 07:09 pmThere's a moon rocket at the Alabama Welcome Center.
I'm as good at identifying rockets as I am at identifying cars -- which is to say, NOT AT ALL, please never ask me to do so, it'll only end in tears, likely mine -- and I thought it was a Polaris or somethin'. (Not skinny enough, I should've realized.) I thought, what a great welcome! "Howdy! Welcome to Alabama! We've got nukes."
Not a mile over 70 per hour the whole way.
Well, okay, maybe a few. But still.
In any case, I'm at the Super 8 on Beach Blvd., the official hotel for CoastCon in Biloxi, MS, and the Gulf of Mexico is right across the street. Way cool. And I passed "The Shed", the recommended barbecue place, on the way into town -- I'll likely hit it either tomorrow or as I leave.
My programming is:
Another note: the C.O.G. performance I announced in the previous thread on Friday at midnight has been moved to Saturday at 10:00, I would presume at the Convention Center stage.
So. Who all's gonna be there?

- Concert, Fri 8:00-9:00 at the hotel's meeting room
- Masquerade halftime performance, Sat 6:00-7:00 at the stage in the Convention Center (a bit up the street to the west)
- Concert, Sun 2:00-3:00 at the stage in the Convention Center
