Brief Intro FRIDAY SATURDAY | SUNDAY MONDAY |
| FRIDAY |
Woke up 5am to get to the airport at 6am. Found where they put their new
economy lot for parking finally. Got in to find out my O'hare connection was
already late and that I would be sent down to St. Louis and handed off to TWA.
(The only flights to FWA from ORD were noon and 9pm.)
Stopped in Denver and delayed. They claimed St. Louis had bad weather.
Expected Five hour delay; five hours later, we flew down to St. Louis.
Arrived just as the first flight (3 others cancelled) was going to leave for FWA.
I managed to have the right papers and a senior staffer overrode the younger check-in
persons decision to put me on stand by. Didn't get to the hotel until 10pm.
Checked into the Holiday Inn, then scouted out the Hilton. Dinner was over and the
dinner attendees were getting their exclusives: Apelinq (TM Primal mold)
and Shokaract (TM Rampage mold).
On the advice of my hotel shuttle driver, I checked out the BBQ cook-off going on.
After a stroll through, I decided to call it a night.
Oh, yes, the moment United told me I missed my 2pm arrival time, I knew I would miss all of the pre-registration Friday night. I was hoping to at least beat the lines for Saturday morning and maybe check out the art room. Still, the airlines decided to misplace my luggage so I just had my backpack. The best I could do was get a good nights rest and get a jump on the morning.
