Getting revved up for the long drive to a Sci-Fi convention this weekend

posted by [personal profile] revdorothyl at 04:48pm on 12/05/2010
I'm getting kind of psyched about setting out for Nebraska and Iowa tomorrow afternoon (which is good, because with an 11- to 12-hour drive ahead of me, even with a stopover to sleep along the way, I don't want to start OUT in a grumpy mood!), on my way to attend DemiCon 21.

Granted, I don't know any of the guests of honor at this year's con, but it's a chance to hang out with friends and cruise the hucksters' room, and -- who knows? -- there might even be a panel or two worth attending.

I've already made a list of t-shirts to look for in the dealers' hall, including this Firefly "Jaynestown" t-shirt featuring a picture of the giant statue of Jayne Cobb erected by the grateful 'mudders' of Canton in one of my favorite "Firefly" episodes.

You're going to be passing through Nebraska? Sweet! Wave to me on the way through, yeah? And have a great time!

Yep, I'm picking up a friend from Lincoln at her eye doctor's in Omaha (if I get there not too much after noon on Friday) or at her Mom's place in Council Bluffs (if I don't get there until 2:30 PM on Friday and she has to take the bus), then driving us to Des Moines for the con, and then back to her home in Lincoln on Monday.

I'll wave in all directions, just to make sure I don't slight any Nebraskan friends!

Soon I too will be in Nebraska - all very exciting.

Take care on the road, and don't run over any Ewoks.

No Ewoks were harmed during this journey (so far!).

I'm in Lincoln now and will be heading back to Nashville (about 12-13 hours of constant driving, if all goes well) tomorrow morning, to be back at work on Wednesday.
