A rocky start

The above image is my dealers pass. It depicts a skeleton in a wreaked
car. What this has to do with scifi I have no idea. But its a pretty
good representation of my mood. We arrived on time and started load-in,
which is always fun in the same way dental surgery is fun. The dealers
room is a craptastic hall across from the host hotel. Its a condemned
building. Litereally. After this con, they're tearing it down. This will
be no great loss. It has all the charm of a vfw hall and smell like cat
piss. Although pleasant outside, the room is freezing. Not a great
start.
