Driving to Ad Astra

[dagibbs]

It seems I'll be driving both to and from Ad Astra this year. If you had asked me yesterday, things might have been different. (I'm doing a business trip to California the week before, I had thought three days, so would fly from Toronto to make it back for Ad Astra, but now only two days (Tues & Wed) so I'll be home to Ottawa on Thursday, and driving to Ad Astra on Friday.

foms, do you want to drive down with me? ragnhildr?

Looking forward to seeing Toronto friends again, soon, too. ;)

Interesting conference, took a look at the website and schedule. Never been to a sci-fi con, one of these I'd like to try.

They can be fun, definitely. I regret that Ottawa no longer really has one, otherwise you could try one locally, without the overhead (time & money) of travel.

Very likely yes. I have just been trying to settle accommodations and looking at bus and train prices and schedules.

Likely plan -- leave Friday just after Ottawa rush hour (9-9:30 range) which will, hopefully, get us into Toronto before T.O. rush hour.

Come home Sunday, sometime, flexible. If interesting stuff still happening, can definitely be evening. If the con has died, possibly before dinner. Goal: to be in Ottawa by 1am at latest.

We're going to miss Ad Astra this year

We won't be at Ad Astra this year. Heidi has a gig on Sunday, and the confusion (no, wait, that's in Ann Arbor) of rushing around doesn't make for a great warmup for a performance.

I guess we'll just have to find some other city that we don't live in to meet in.
