Well, because I went across the street to the Shaw's market to buy some alcohol. Except Shaw's market doesn't sell alcohol to anyone with an out of state ID! Imagine my surprise! 30 years old and I can't buy alcohol! What kind of liberal hellhole is this state?!
I am sitting in the hotel lobby of howard johnsons waiting for my roommates to get in.
Then tomorrow, 9 am sharp, I am enforcing.
I can't really attend dinner (25 a plate for a vegetarian, yikes! i'd come and not eat, but that didn't seem like an option!), but for anyone who wants to traverse the convention, feel free to get in contact with me.

Trying to buy booze at a supermarket was your mistake. Go to a packie
I am in Holyoke drinking coffee and finishing a proposal I should have finished days ago.
Unity- Visiting the zoo?
EDIT: My anxiety is acting up. So I'm driving to Alewife and taking the Red Line to DT Crossing where I hop on Orange inbound to Chinatown then walk south for ten minutes? This seems foolproof!

No, I have a friend at UMASS who I had to pick up.

Front of the line woooo! I thought the doors opened at 10.
In line now. Two huge rooms, one's empty, the one we're in is about half full, so I guess we're at about the 1/4 mark of the line? Hour and 40 left to go, hour and 30 left on the laptop battery. I'm in a blue plaid shirt, next to a pole, near the sign that says "telephones".
Matt. you must be near the front of the line. i'm in the back half of the first big room.

Hey what is the protocol to get in to the convention? Like do you they make you take your shoes off and pat you down or something, or do they just look at your badge and wave you in?

Fuck. I'm now a lame-ass who has to bail. This is unsettling.
Is transportation the problem? I bet I could convince the wife to totally let us pick up some guy from the internet who may or may not look like a cross between Richard Harris circa 1998 and Brandon Lee in facepaint.

Especially if he is impeccably dressed.
I really appreciate it, but it's a "I woke up feeling like absolute crap" that I was ignoring because if I ignored it long enough it would go away. Alas, not to be.
I was really looking forward to meeting everyone, too.

Welcome to a blue state.

but there is a great liquor store on the west end of newbury street that has a lot of hard-to-find boozes.

It's the first place i tracked down creme de violette and sazerac rye. they have a pretty nifty selection and it's a short walk for you.
(they are probably not open right now)
also, there are like a thousand good bars and restaurants right on boylston street. and on newbury.
boston may fall short in some areas, but it is no slouch for good bars.

yes, I know that now
I was checking out the lobby for Kakos when we were checking in, cuz he's the only one I'd recognize.

you'll be able to get back on time if there is a band you want to see. dinner probably will last an hour or so.
