Hard to believe it\u2019s already Thursday. The convention officially starts tomorrow, but today it\u2019s time to make the trip out to Orlando. I haven\u2019t been to Orlando for a few months so I\u2019m gonna drive out early and just hang out for a while. Just a slow day enjoying myself. I\u2019m already packed and just waiting for a good time to leave the house. I can tell it\u2019s close as I\u2019ve had progressively less sleep each night this week being so excited for the convention and seeing a bunch of great geeky friends.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be spending a good amount of time with the Slacker and The Man crew. They\u2019re having a pre-convention party in their hotel room and will be playing something called \u201cBattleshots\u201d. Then on Friday night, they\u2019ll be at O\u2019Shucks on International Drive around 9pm for some drunken karaoke.<\/p>\n

MegaCon is the start of convention season here in Florida. I\u2019m very much ready to kick back and hang out with some great friends and just live it up. My trigger finger is also ready to go. I definitely plan on getting a lot of pictures to post on the site. If time permits I\u2019ll write some about what happens throughout the weekend. Hopefully I\u2019ll be able to do some live tweeting and facebooking during the con. Not sure how my phone will handle the event and this will be the first convention that I will had my android tablet. It\u2019s a wi-fi only model so I hope the convention center has some free wi-fi hot spots to tap into. (a subsequent check of the Orange County Convention Center website tells me there is but let\u2019s see how well it actually works.)<\/p>\n

All that\u2019s left to do now is just a few last minute things like setting up a few things to record on the DVR and getting everything in the truck. See y\u2019all at MegaCon and I\u2019ll be back later with some convention updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
