The Road to Worldcon

[drpaisley]

Day One (Aug 24): I had hoped to leave by 9a, but the prep to get to the point where I could begin packing went past that, then the packing itself, plus multiple stops on the way out of town meant the 12.30 lunch with Tully happened at 2p. We got his contributions for the Bros parties stowed away, and headed south to Oklahoma City, where we stopped for the night. , as The Driver, am a good 15 yrars past that whole "Fourteen hour road yrip! Woo!" bullshit. We had a lovely dinner at Bubba's BBQ with friends, then crashed prior to day two of the trek.

Most amusing was our motel was just down the road from the former Central Plaza, home of SoonerCon for many years. It is now the Bricktown Hotel and Convention Center. I was informed that they price themselves accordingly.
