*sigh* I just accidentally deleted what I wrote the first time, so if this one seems brief, it's because I'm rewriting it and didn't feel like retyping everything. Oh god, I *hate* when that happens.
I've only ever gone to the sci fi con in Toronto, once with raxhel and the second time with Nick. I think we got less sleep the first time, because the second one with Nick, well, the panels kind of sucked that year, and we spent some time with my sister, so away from the con. Maybe it was because of the panels, but we also seemed to meet less people that year. *shrugs*
my dumbass cell phone (which, incidentally, is the *only* phone I own) I hate cell phones in general. I spent almost a year with just a cell phone as my phone and hated it.
I had something really good about dumbass Americans and our need to be different which really just makes us seem conceited (we're too good to use your simple system) and involved something about Daylight Savings Time People do want o be seen as differnt. Canadians spend their fair share of time doing it, but generally it's more along the lines of listening to The Arrogant Worms instead of using outdated measurement systems. :P I'm really curious how you were going to work Daylight Savings Time into it. I was talking with someone else about it, and we were trying to figure out why we do it. :P
Hell, even days when it's a little more humid, we usually have enough of a breeze that it doesn't feel as bad as days when it's muggy and still. Yeah, a breeze can make such a huge difference in that kind of weather. And you're close enough to the water that I'm sure you get enough wind.
In all the good places for living and working, the A/C systems are all good. Do most places have air conditioning units? Or central air?
If you do get to come to the con and depending on how early you were able to fly in, I'd encourage you to try and fly into Houston and I'd pick you up and that way I could really show you the places I'm talking about. That's an awesome idea! I hadn't thought of that. And I'm sure it'll be nicer for you to have some company on the drive :)
