Blogging the Cs

I'm in Chicago! I almost didn't make it. I seem to have gotten a case of food poisoning/stomach flu that had me in the hospital overnight. I was sprung Tuesday morning at about 8 and it took all of the persuading that I could muster to get Lisa to let me out of the house.

We're staying at the Club Quarters and it took 3 room changes before we got to the right room. My mother is taking the train in from Detroit tomorrow to keep Lisa company through the weekend while I conference (or at least try to).

I saw Clancy in the lobby when I was checking in (and she forgot her knitting!), but no one else yet. I am going to the 1up gaming SIG at 6:30 and then going to the 2nd annual Cs Stitch n Bitch at 8 (Miller's Pub...reservation under Blackmon). I may even hazard a bit of solid food tonight, but I'll probably be staying away from alcoholic beverages.

Kinda weak still so I won't be carrying the laptop right away. You'll be waiting for blog posts until I return to the hotel at night. Alrighty...off to the Palmer House.
