filkertomI'm here.
Except for the last hour and a half (oh, the joy of New Jersey divided roads -- you can't make a left or U-turn for, literally, miles, and you have to make a right turn to do it), the drive out to Parsippany was a delight. Lovely weather, open roads, only a bit of construction delay, I-80 is much better than the Pennsylvania Turnpike in every respect... if I have to do to Philly in the near future, I'm takin' the 80 and cutting south at Scranton. (Yes, I was at the top of a hill, and, yes, I have bananas.)
After getting directions from a helpful person, I finally found the dang Hilton at about 11:00 p.m.. Merav and John were just unloading, and Harold Stein and Josh Kronengold were there, along with Paul Grossman in charge of kids' programming and his wife Miri who's a big fan of mine, and Mark Bernstein came out a few minutes later, and Peter Alway was at the front desk, and I made it all the way from Ann Arbor in one day and I'm situated at the con hotel and friends are here and there's a pool and yeah.
The full schedule is here. Get ready --(dun dun DUNNNN) a desperate attempt (at least on my part) of The Rocky Horror Muppet Show will be made Saturday at 9:30 p.m.
The fantastic Judi Miller is the GOH, and she'll be singing and signing all weekend. Lots of concerts, including InterFilk GOHs Pavlov's Duck. Themed concerts, lots of open sings of course, a Joe Bethancourt Benefit Concert, more more more. Heck, astronomy -- Peter's organizing stargazing out in the parking lot both nights.
Who's here, or on the way? Or, if you're not here, what are your plans for the Fourth of July Weekend?
