Mark should be on the road. many of you are making final prep for the week. A few have a shift to handle before heading out.

And I have 24 hours to solve the mystery, stop the terrorist plot, rescue my kidnapped daughter, save a president, and ... No, wait. That's what Jack Bauer has to get done. I am all set to see you all 3 hours after I wrangle Jeremy into being ready to leave. )So expect me around 11ish.

Hopefully, the orange filled bottles have already been strategically placed down the highway...

Unfortunately the front desk of the hotel Marc is staying in would not let me know what floor he was on so I can't put any there already

I won't be arriving until Thursday, due to not wanting to miss my weekly Wednesday night game. (And when last we left her, my character was in fairly dire straits, so Thursday could very well be a "nursing my sorrows" kind of a day....)

Can't wait to see all of you!!!

With Jeremy, I am not even sure if he knows the difference in AM and PM.

I arrived safe and sound with nary an orange bottle seen. But I’ve also arrived wiser. It turns out if you do less than 5 miles an hour over the speed limit, the police will not pull you over and give you a ticket. Who knew? I didn’t get tickets from at least 10 cops in New York alone!

Speaking of which, I need to warn you about a speed trap zone on 271 for the ride home.

On the road in about 15 minutes (30 until I get Jeremy into the car if we are lucky.

Well, that was something. It probably would have gone fine if we had just stuck to the plan.

As usual, the weekend flew by way to fast...

It was absolutely wonderful to see everyone at Origins, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you at GenCon (when I'm set free from the booth)!

Counting the days....

As always, counting down the days till Origins. At Origins, a blink later it's over. Now starts the wait till next year. Had a wonderful time, miss you all already......

As always, just wanted to say thanks to all of you for running some of the best games I ever get at Origins, and especially to Ken this year for indulging my need to get into duels with other Valroux duelists. It was another great year, and I am so thrilled to almost be caught up with the flashbacks, and get into the more current adventures.

Hopefully I can make it to one of the other cons you're at, though it won't be GenCon, as waiting a full year to get back into Altamira really feels like too long between visits. Thanks again, and hope you all got home safe and have a good year.

Fortunately, I bet your BRAND NEW BOTTLE of Malort can cure it! :twisted:

Got in 2 hours after it went live and had no problems (no waiting, no timeouts). That said, it seemed like prices were up this year (though Ken thought it was less).

I was in 15 minutes after it started and was locked out of the Hyatt, so I'm at the Crown. Prices are comparable-ish to last year.
