Friday, 24 August. Up at 0600 in order to take my car and to Saturn. I spent six hours there before they turn my car loose. Unfortunately, my power cable did not work and I could not make use of their wireless system. I did not wish to use up all my battery in the laptop. I slowly and read a book. They did most of what I wanted, however, only the rear power outlet was now working. I would need to order the part. – En route to the convention hotel I stopped at CompUSA to get some goodies for my computer: a power cable and 2G of RAM. – I finally got to the hotel and settled in. Then I went in search of food as I was starving. – Somewhat filled by headed over to my first panel. A slide show on my trip to Middle-earth. Once again the gods of technology and they could not get the set up working. Later that night I was one of the auctioneers at the charity auction, which raised a fair amount of money. – I then went to a bunch of parties.
