Hello From Vegas

[loracs]

Land of the Unreal.  Everything on the Strip is Big, Everything is Blinky.  I just returned from dropping stonebender and wild_irises off at the Mirage to gamble for a bit.  I'm sure stonebender will have something to say about his first experience at a live poker game when he gets computer access.

The 9.5 hour drive here was not bad.  A little radio, a little ipod music, a little talking and stonebender reading to me while I drove, made it all go by pretty quickly.   I hope the ride home on Tuesday goes as well.  

I'm enjoying alt-polycon.  It's a little weird since I have never read alt-poly.  I feel like a bit of a hanger on at times.  I'm having my shy moments now and then.  There are lots of very interesting people here, some I know, some I don't, but would like to get to know.  Only tonight and tomorrow before most people go back home.  Tomorrow night we have tickets for Spamalot.  I'm looking forward to it - not the drive down the Strip on the night of the Super Bowl, but it will be worth it.  

Driving is crazy.  If I ever come back here just for a vacation, I think I'd prefer to stay at one of the big hotels on the Strip. 

This is all very disjointed because I want to go to a panel in 1 minute.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. If it means anything, even those of us who *do* read alt.poly feel like hangers-on a lot at those things. epi_lj just posted about it, and I *always* feel that way at cons, even though I *know* there are people there who are thinking I'm the one who belongs and they don't. People are funny things.
