At Balticon

So here I am on Saturday afternoon at Balticon, the Baltimore-area regional con that takes up the three-day Memorial Day weekend.

It's warm. It's sunny. It has a great dealer's room and a good art show. There are panels, somewhere, and I'm about to check the program to see if any of them interest me.

Contrary to what you'd expect, it's not *in* Baltimore per se. It's in a nice suburban hotel, that's about 10 minutes away on foot (and about a minute away by car) from a mall with lots of great restaurants of different types.

Last night, [livejournal.com profile] esrblog and I played Ticket to Ride and Power Grid until nearly 4 A.M. I won the first, and came in a heartbreakingly close second to [livejournal.com profile] esrblog, He's sleeping now, having had to get up a bit early to do a radio interview by cellphone.

Yes, I know I didn't do my Penguicon report yet. It's on the to-do list. Fun at Balticon now, more writing later.
