The word of the day is... cock?

There's so much to report about, but I can't get into it all right now. Especially since I have packing to do, to check out of the hotel in less than 7 hours (with probably less than 4 hours of sleep).

But I just wanted to gush about how much fun I had tonight because I was finally! able to meet up with GW fandom people from Ycon! Sharon, Artemis, Susan, Leslie, Jana, Devil Kitty, Ponderosa & her husband (whose name I unfortunately have forgotten), and several others were there. We went to go eat dinner, had a wonderful time, then went for ice cream. We meant to go to the Yaoi panel, but the line was insanely long, so we decided to skip it and had our own little panel by the Starbucks cafe area.

I NEED to get to Ycon somehow 'cause I'd really hate to miss out on more of the same.

Some pics to come soon.

Nashville, TN

I'm in Nashville, TN.

Since it was already 10pm by the time I got in a cab to go to the hotel (which was a flat rate of $22, OMG!), I haven't really seen too much of it. So far it looks much like other cities that are not Manhattan. There is a McDonald's down the road from me, so if I don't find a supermarket within walking distance (or reasonable public transportation distance), I'll at least not starve. But it is definitely a last resort.

I kind of wish I had arrived earlier in the day, so that I'd have had time to settle in a little, and explore what is in the area before jumping into starting the training at 9am tomorrow morning.

The hotel -- a Holiday Inn Express -- is pretty nice, actually. I was kind of expecting something slightly... cheap, or something, like that hotel at Yaoicon 2002. But it's cool. I have a non-smoking room with a king-size bed. The guy that checked me in said, since I'd be staying there here for 5 days, he put me in a room with a fridge and microwave! Yay! And, as one might be able to deduce, there's a free internet connection in the room. It is joy. =D

( The only thing is, the hotel is across from a store called 'LifeWay Christian'. )

I'm scared.
