Home, for a minute. Dropping off stuff. Snra is still at the hotel w/ Dead Enders from convention.

I have time for only one statement:

Holy Shit, the hotel was great. I've been to dozens of hotels across two countries for conventions, and I have NEVER been in one as good as the Toronto Airport Marriot.

Seriously. The bed was COMFORTABLE. It was a shock; for the past couple years, I've come to expect a horrendous night's sleep at a con (wether because Inquisition level beds or just snoring freelancer), but this place had great beds. The food? Oh, dear lordy, the food. The chicken was tender and moist, not the hockey pucks you normally expect, and the sweet potatoes were sublime.

The staff? Forget about it. I've NEVER encountered such a group of courteous, professional, and HELPFUL people in my life. They were communicative, inquisitive, and friendly.

If you have an event of any size up to about 700 people, you really owe it to yourself to check out the hotel.

An effusive letter will be written.

I also spent the day doing my gurudata impression for everyone. Much hilarity ensued.

Inquisition-level beds. Hee. Yeah, that was the one thing I didn't like about the Doubletree. We used the sofabed the next night and it was much softer.

Hiho,

Aha! I was in Buffalo tonight and a certain gentleman in a very loud shirt told me that *somebody* was doing an impression of me at SC, but he wouldn't tell me who it was. Now I know!

He tried to re-create the impression, but now that I know who he was emulating, I'm betting that he didn't do it justice. :)

Cu,
Andrew

Oh, God, he wore that shirt home?

And he tried to protect me. That's so nice. :)

ah...but did he wear his shoes?

I think his shoes are on once he leaves carpetted areas.

I can only hope. Otherwise he's got feet like a hobbit.
