Home again!
2004-11-28 10:24 pmThe usual Thanksgiving drive down to Loscon (in the LAX Marriott this year) with the usual stop at Pea Soup Anderson's in for lunch. We use US101 rather than I5; it takes a little longer but it's a bit less hassle.
Loscon was good; moderately relaxing. Both kids did some gofering, but no marathon sessions this time. Both of them stayed out of our hair for the entire convention, and went to bed at 1:30 with little protesting. The YD actually brought a book (one of the Harry Potter series) and read it rather than complaining about being bored. The fact that there were several girls her age at the con helped a lot, too.
Filking was good, but rather sparse. I had the first concert, half an hour at 1:00 on Saturday. ( setlist )
( hotel gripes )
I decided not to spend $10/day on a net connection, so I've been unconnected all weekend. See, I can quit any time I want. Really.
The drive back was uneventful, with only one stop (State St. in Santa Barbara) for gas and bio-break. Left at 2:15, arrived at 8:45. 390 miles. Probably lost half an hour or so to stop-and-go traffic on the 405 and later around Santa Barbara. I'm tired. Good to be back.
