Yeah, I'm excited about that one, too! All kinds of good Tad and Deborah fun.

And of course the readings.... and there's a panel on Thursday called "Side-Kicks Who Try to Steal the Show," which sounds like a great way to spend a Thursday night.

I've been going around saying to everyone, "George R.R. Martin is going to be there next week!" And no one knows who he is! Silly people.

Marian, can I nominate you 'Con Director'?  You know, like cruise director, but Smarchier?  I still have a frightening amout of work to do and cannot spare the few brain cells I have left to contemplate these details.

*lights up* Ooh, yes! That sounds like fun. Because I have a frightening amount of work to do, too, and this is my favorite way of avoiding it!

Aye!

I got a new coat yesterday.  I found my gloves, too.  I may actually be ready to deal with winter while we're in Calgary!

See you all in a few days.  Can't wait!

Supposed to be a pretty warm week here - no snow currently in the forecast!!

Two days!!!!!!!

Kianor, I'm going to PM you with my flight info and phone number.

Here's a handy map of the Calgary airport arrivals area.  As you exit custom, there's a knife+fork icon to the left.  How about meeting up there?  Hopefully they'll have beer too.

I can't remember who suggested that sign for the Kassel moot, saying something like, "I don't know who I'm looking for, but they should be around here somewhere."

ETA: Shouldn't even read this thread... makes me feel jealous. ;)

As you're exiting customs if you go to the right there is a Tim Horton's - a canadian institution - coffee & donuts & such, the food kiosk to the left is a Jugo Juice.  You can still see the int'l arrival area from Jugo Juice, but not from TH's ~  Just to give you an idea of choices...

Kianor will have a couple of hours to kill before I arrive, maybe he can put together a sign.

When I picked up Ylvs at the airport the first time she was here, I told her: look for the little blue car with a copy of Shadowmarch on the dash board.

That reminds me of when I met up with Manuela (who posted at Smarch only about 3 times, but is from Linz too) for the first time, we decided to meet in a bookshop, and the first to arrive would have to hold a Tadbook.

Calesta, here's the important question: which one will have beer?

Neither.  For that you'll have to go up to the departures level where there is a Montana's restaurant or up to the food court level where there is a bar that I think might be Cheers but not too sure!


PM for you!

Bummer.  *doesn't see a PM*

Still no PM.  My box isn't full.  How odd!

I was wondering what time your flight comes in -- maybe I can make it over to the airport for a cold one or a coffee....

Oh, that would be nice!  I arrive a little after 3pm, and will have a couple of hours to kill (Libra & Sahi arrives around 5pm, and Marian around 5:30, iirc.).
