It's just five minutes off of exit 5! Kids under five eat free and they'll have a great time in our play room! Bring grandma and uncle Fergus cause folks over 55 years young get 10% off!

Remember, at Krafty's, it's not all you can eat, it's all you can stand!

It's sad, but, being an Australian, and knowing what I know about America, I totally had to check on Google whether that place was real or not....

I got to Reno about lunch time. The hotel is nice, but being in Nevada, smells like stale cigarettes.

Don't feel too bad about missing it Moonie... From what I've seen so far this is going to be the saddest Worldcon I've experienced. I was talking to an old friend. He commented that the programing, art show, and exhibits just aren't up to Worldcon standards. I had to agree with him.

Oh... and they didn't order enough badge lanyards. They ran out this morning. Sounds like poor planning all around.

I'm BAAAAA-aaaa-ck! Got in about 11:30 last night, and went straight to bed.

Being "the saddest x ever" is a contractual requirement for any event held in Reno.

Except my wedding.

Doesn't the fact that it's being held in Reno at all make it a saddest event? I think the only events I've ever been to there were Logging Shows.

I didn't take many pictures, but here's something that was too twisted not to share:

Oh... And if anyone is interested in what this year's Hugo loo like:
