I’ll be heading out tomorrow for Context science fiction convention. At the last con I attended, we were expected to pay for internet access. If you know me, you know that this meant I didn’t have internet access. So I may be offline this weekend. I hope I don’t go into blog withdrawal.

So today, I have to get everything together to take:

• clothes (don’t laugh–I once went off without my suitcase and had to buy a change of raiment with my food money)
• books to sell
• promotional items–business cards, excerpt sheets, posters
• sleep apnea machine
• food
• chianti

I’m baking bread, and I’m getting either pre-cooked chicken or un-cooked chicken to smoke. I’m getting sharp cheddar cheese and apricot preserves, which are AWESOME mixed and made into a sammich. Probably taking some peanut butter. There will be food in the con suite, but one never knows if one will be in the con suite at the same time the food is.

I’ll try to pop in tomorrow for Grab Bag day. After that–the CON!

WRITING PROMPT: If your main character went to a convention what would he/she take?

p.s. My whole life, I’ve been saying “rainment” when I meant “clothing”. Now, Mr. Spellcheck teaches me the word is “raiment”. You live, you learn. I guess rainment is what you wear in wet weather.
