More random Wiscon thoughs

Apparently, people in Madison really love their dogs. I am on the hotel shuttle, and I just passed a billboard for a kennel that read "Book your dog's summer vacation today!" Which made me go, "Crap! I am not as pulled together as I think! I have not booked my dog's summer vacation yet!!"

***

On the way to the hotel there is an apartment complex called "Quisling Terrace." I don't think I'd want live there.

In the shuttle, turning the corner and seeing the Capitol Building, I had the strangest feeling of Deja Vu. I must have researched Madison, Wisconsin for a story once, or something, because the feeling was so strong.

I may be the only person *at* Wiscon who is *also* at Bittercon. Because not an hour after I got here, I got an emergency call from a client and it looks like I'm going to have to spend much of the weekend reworking her brochure. I am skipping dinner, sitting in the lobby, rewriting her copy, hoping to get enough done so I can go to some of the programming after Opening Ceremonies. Indeed, I feel like Cinderella left home to scrub floors while everyone else goes to the ball. Wah, me.

Client revisons can really suck, especially when you're on vacation. I hope she was satisfied with your rewrite and left you alone! Hope you have a great time. :-)

Thanks for the encouragement, Mahesh ... I'm closing in on it! Hope to send the revised draft off in about a half-hour.

Then I can go put on my ball gown until she calls me again. ;-)
