Sixth annual

[prog]

Today's been a stomachache day, the first since the really bad one that killed my museum date. Wasn't stupid this time: drank no coffee (but lots of tea) and have been taking it easy, so it's been all right.

Better today than tomorrow, which is the thon. The thon! I am gonna hafta get off my rear and schlep to Shaw's when I'm done writing this. I think lots of water and some high-protein, low-odor snacks (no beef jerky this time) will fill the bill. Even though I am now carless, I think I will probably end up sneaking home once or twice for other amenities anyway.

The final list of who-all is going in my adventuring party still isn't 100 percent final but the core group has a plan. We're gonna meet there 90 minutes before launch and try to get the same seats we got two years ago. That was back when there was five of us, and there may be as many as seven this year! Wish us luck.

Each time I look at the schedule I get more pumped up. Can you believe that I've never seen Forbidden Planet?

Which seats are you gunning for?
I'm hanging out wicked early since I live so close. If it's near my $TARGET_SEATING_AREA I'll rope a few off for you.

We sat in the left rear in 2005, and found it a dandy trade-off of screen distance for comfort and aisle access.

Y'all sit up in the balcony, dontcha? That was our first pick but some of our number didn't like the seats as much (at least as they existed then).

Yeah, up in el balco, but you gotta get in quick to get the first (or first two?) rows, cause those are the only comfortable seats.

I know I'm gonna be racing with at least one other group. I hate feeling like that.

even points out that the balcony seats suck, and are the land of NO LEGROOM.

DON'T DO IT, MAN!
