Originally I planned on driving to the con after work on Friday night; but due to traffic and personal financial issues I've decided to do the same thing I did last year. Just be there all day Saturday. I can wake up early in the morning with no problem. It takes me at least 2 hours to drive from my house to the hotel. I'll be there just as registration opens.
The panel I'm hosting "Convention Prep 101" starts at 10:30 AM on Saturday morning. Hope you all will be there!
I might hang around Sunday afternoon if I have the time, but we'll see what happens.
