Travel notes:

The Portland airport is a good place for walkies. I'll have to remember that the two sides of the terminal are connected; the security-check lines were considerably shorter on the D/E side. It's not as if I mind walking.

The backpack is a lot easier to get around with than the rolly, but it's less accessible for getting stuff in and out, and it gets hard on my back after a while. I may look for a folding cart.

With the Tux Droid taking up nearly half the suitcase, things were a little tighter than I like. Wound up wearing my fleece jacket, which worked great on the way to the airport but was less convenient after I got there.

A luggage strap with a plastic quick-connect buckle makes a great temporary belt for going through security. I basically just sailed through, except for nearly forgetting to pull my computer out of the backpack.

One of these days I may just have to design the perfect travel backpack and folding cart, and get somebody to manufacture them.

Album notes

We're uploading artwork today, hooray!

I still haven't quite gotten the hang of selling out my soul my stuff; I only sold one physical preorder pack, plus a couple of nibbles that may lead to web sales. A dozen or so people found the cards I put out on the flier table. I should also have been handing them out more freely at the breakfast and lunch tables; I had a tendency to do it only when the subject came up in the course of the conversation.

Talked briefly with Therese Michaud, who was playing piano in the airport, and her daughter who was manning the table selling a 5-song demo CD. Only realized later that I should have just swapped for a preorder pack. Did I mention that I'm a slow learner?
