Connection Frustration

So I booked myself into this swell hotel and got all settled in and now their server has died and I have no internet connection.

Have no fear, I’m continuing to write all my lovely posts about every little thing going on, but there will be a slight delay in posting them.

I’m having a fantabulous time and people are wonderfully open and I’ve enjoyed talking to every one of them. My fears of being ignored as one of those “internet” people has completely and happily dissipated.

More later if I can find a computer with a USB port that will let me transfer over my other write ups! The show floor opened 2 minutes ago to the press, so I’m off!

If you get desperate for a connection remember that all Panera stores have free wi-fi in them (I take a list of Panera locations when storm chasing for this reason).

Have a great time shmoozing with the candy people! It’s nice that they don’t attach any blogger-stigma to you. I was wondering whether they would but figured that this is a big PR thing and that they’d put best foot forward with everybody.

I’d be there if only they’d have been kind enough to put the show on a weekend instead of the middle of the week *sigh*

Thanks William! There is a Panera around the corner from my hotel (as well as the public library) so I’ll find a way!
