I made it in safely yesterday, and am enjoying the nice weather out here. Registered for the conference (initial swag includes a generic Blackboard bag and t-shirt, not the most impressive swag for a company that's about to file an IPO), went to new restaurant (Portland's) with my mom, and ate scallops and a nice pork chop.

Flight was okay (although Delta's new policy of charging you $8 to buy a sandwich on a 4 hour flight proves that they're still fucking pigs instead of giving a rat's ass about customers), and the hotel is decent enough. They provide the important ammenities, which means that I'm currently drinking my free coffee and reading the review of the new E. L. Konigsburg novel ([livejournal.com profile] dixie, you knew this existed already, right?) in my free USA Today, while sitting in an Aeron chair.

I won't even try to keep up with reading LJ during this time, and other than morning posts like this, I doubt I'll be posting anything exciting. I apologize, but if I need to know something,email me.

No, I didn't! I am so remiss. Thank you! *bounce* How are the reviews?

Hope the conference is enjoyable as possible.

$8 for a sandwich would be bad indeed, if you weren't capable of buying from any of the numerous food outlets I am reliably informed exist in most US airports nowadays and taking it aboard, or even better, making your own healthy sarnies beforehand and packing them in that miracle called Tupperware. :-)

Of course, you have to deal with the glowers from other people with less foresight who are suffering waiting for the $8 sandwich.

Would you mind if I add you? I enjoy your column for BookSlut.
