Subject: Jon T in the States
Just so y'all know, Jon T arrived safe and sound (and early!) last night to the States. He's currently plotting nefarious schemes for the weekend (no, wait, that's Laserlight, iirc; brain still fuzzy from sleep, lack of). Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone at the con, and I'll pass on any msgs you have for him today directly (yes, Beast, I will pass on your love - in printed form ;-)

Whoops, Yahoo Maps sez over 1200. Wouldn't Jon be impressed if I ever DID get there... That's 1933 in English mu's! The_Beast

Most of the time distances were in miles, with kilometres used only near tourist attractions. Gosh, we're pretty much exactly the same distance from Lancaster! Now that's weird... (Yahoo Maps says I'm 1183 miles away.)

Swing on over anytime, and I'll put a gun to a friend's head to pull out his StarGrunt. You know you can always spank me in FT... The_Beast PS. I know that was cruel, but I loved doing it.

There was also a sign, the text of which I can't remember, beside it in several different European languages. The weird part was that I didn't remember seeing any other signs in kilometres on the way, so why bother doing it there?

That still puts us as way too far apart, doesn't it. At least you have other guys to play with there. The only thing close to a game store in this town is a comics place, and they are heavy into D20, Magic, Legend of the Five Rings, and miniatures that click. Maybe I need to take out an ad in the local paper. *L*

I remember last summer's GenCon... I didn't have enough cash to afford one last night at the hotel, so I spent the entire night up wandering the late night games, watching anime, and catching a cat-nap in the miniatures hall. Remind me not to do that again when and if I go next year. Later, Mark A. Siefert [quoted original message omitted]
