Where have you gone? 
Fink here, posting from the Crowne Plaza in Columbus. Up since 3:30 and ready for another long day.
On the upside, I’ve seen some cool people and things so far. Too bad some of the stuff I really want to see takes place when I’m either in a meeting or working at the booth in the exhibit hall. Why can’t I just have everything I want?
This is the first time in quite a while I’ve attended this convention without the Thriller in tow. I reveled in the solitude of my room for about an hour — then I was like, OK, what do I do now? There’s no one to talk to. So before drifting off with the light, the Nook and the glasses still on, I watched Exporting Raymond on HBO. Very interesting and funny documentary about the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond taking his show to Russian television.
So today, it’s booth work, a couple of sessions and a concert. Best go try to find some coffee, because this diesel fuel they stock in the in-room coffeemakers just isn’t cutting it.
Am I snarky this morning? Do I have a fever? I’m not feeling like myself. Perhaps I need more music geekery to brighten my mood.
Ummm…maybe not.

Yes, a strange feeling, indeed! No finkster makes me sad. I’ll just throw myself into my studies…yech… See you soon Finkly!
Right on, luv! Happy writing, and I’ll see you tomorrow, yay! *HUGZ*
Hoping today is a good one for you, sweetie! The Thriller will be on his way tomorrow – then it’s fun time together for a while! I think it’s great the way you two lovebirds miss each other.
It’s been great so far, thanks Mave — but crazy! And as much as I’m enjoying the events here, I am looking forward to escaping tomorrow. And seeing the Thriller, of course! We’re like each other’s comfy slippers, LOL
XO
Wait…
You’re snarky but not feeling yourself?
How can this be?
PK (ducks)
Hey, you watch it. Mamasita!
Um… this will make it a new record. Eight people have asked me if I was going to convention. That will be twice as many that asked me in Mid-Winter in 2011. Weird.
Though I am plenty jealous, because up until 2011 and 2012, I had been at every convention since 2001. Weird. But, I am content with being up in Cleveland most of the weekend instead.
As I should be!
I hope all is going well and that, even if it may not be possible with your brain working like it is, you get some sleep soon. I thought I was finally “caught up” with sleep, then this morning… I thought I was fine… and three espressos later, I’m finally starting to feel like a whole person. I have hugged AND kissed dearest Heffe in your honor. One day soon, I will hope to receive the set for myself in person.
And that is how it should be — content being up in Cleveland. We have to get together soon! And give H another hug for me. Tea this week? Or maybe meet for ONE espresso? (Otherwise we’ll both have to be peeled off the ceiling)
