How Patricia prepares for WFC

[pbray]

Step 1- Confirm meetup arrangements with agent, etc.
Step 2- Print off driving directions
Step 3- Document locations and menus for the three nearby brewpubs (Gordon Biersch, Barley's Brewing and Elevator Brewery), so can begin planning my attack. Given that they aren't open for breakfast, this gives me 5 meals plus 2 happy hours, which should be sufficient.

Deciding which clothes to wear, packing, etc, can all be left for the last minute. But beer is important!

Can I climb in your suitcase?

The car will be full, as will the suitcase, but if you're willing to cling to the roof rack...

Where does "clean my house and throw out socks" fit in that list? ;-)

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Those are on the pre-con list.

I threw out a kitchen trash bag's worth of socks today! Aren't you proud of me? Plus I have a Wegman's bag of good socks I never wear that I'll be donating.

beer is important for good writing. or at least good conferences

I suspect library conferences are also enhanced by beer.

I find wine works, but yes, one of my sig lines is:
"You honor your reservations; you go to your meetings so we can clean the rooms; you're relatively quiet; and you drink more than the American Legion."

That's an awesome quote!

I'm sorry to report that Ohio State has an 8 PM away game that Saturday, so you'll probably have to deal with OSU fans while you're out imbibing. (I apologize in advance, on behalf of all Ohioans who can't stand THE Ohio State University.)

Hope you have fun!

Yikes! Thanks for the warning.

Oh, if you don't have enough to do, you could always check out COSI (The Center of Science and Industry). It's a pretty awesome museum.

I have casually mentioned,
The fact that I like...
To drink beer."
