Got to get up at 3AM tomorrow morning to catch the airport shuttle to SFO. The excitement is building for the first Chicago a2k gathering to meet and enjoy the company of people from the US and Germany. To present myself in the best light, I hope my haircut today helps. LOL

Haircut,.
Hmm.
Haircut. I'm starting to remember what that was ...
I'll leave my local airport at 9am tomorrow and arrive in Chicago at 2pm ... but it takes 12 hours :wink:
(Munich - Chicago 'only' 9 hrs)

Walter and c.i.,
Hope you both have safe trips. I also hope to see you Friday morning at Au Bon Pain. I hope c.i. won't phone in from his hotel and say he is sick in bed with a bad haircut.

Yes! Travel safely! I look forward to meeting all of you on Friday night at the Duke of Perth gathering!
(Hope we don't freeze.)
I only have one more day to finish up work here and pack. Now, where did I put that travel alarm?.......mumblemumble

I failed to get my hair cut, as I meant to. So it goes...
Am leaving in a few minutes to bring Pacco and stay overnight at Diane and Dys' - he will take me to the airport in the early morning.
I even packed my travel alarm and cell phone - good, I usually forget one of them.
Fly or drive safely, all...

Thomas, As the first one on the "scene," you'll have to play host to the new arrivals.

So...it's 21:30 here, give or take...so what's Chicago, 7 hours behind?
Walter must be closing in.
When in Chicago, one can go to the Duke of Perth, and when in Perth, to the Isle of Skye. It's a wonderful, wacky world. Prosit! And slainte!

McTag,
It is 15:30 here in Chicago. Walter has my office phone number. If he calls me, I will post something. Anyway, I will probably see Walter tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how he is doing.

Have a blast, guys, and take lots of pics. Wish I could be there.
Sublime: drink a Goose Island (or 2) for me.
And c.i., smoke one of those Miami stogies for me wouldja? (Just don't do it around Eva or mac11. :wink: )

I have decided to go, but only as an observer, incognito. I'll be wearing my Gustavratzenhofer disquise and watching from several hiding places that I've scoped out ahead of time.
Enjoy.

Yes, I do, ehBeth! Lots & lots of cat photos! Now where did I put that camera? Seriously though, Life has got in the way of me doing so many things I should be doing. <sigh>
But I love looking at other folks' photos!

I'm hoping you all end up biting and scratching and fighting over some obscure feminist precedence issue.
Now that would be a real good time. Festivals are not supposed to be bourgeois when the booze kicks in.
