Only bad thing is, I wish I'd planned better. I have 5 gallons of apfelwein and 5 gallons of an Arrogant Bastard clone brewing in my basement, but neither is probably ready to drink.
FYI: For anyone interested, I'm bringing up two 10-gallon tubs full of old science-fiction and fantasy books. I'm going digital, and getting rid of all but a very few shelves of books. The hardbacks (the majority of my collection) all went to Half-Price books (in fact, they're paying for my drive and stay in Detroit this weekend :D ), but the paperbacks are not worth much on the market.
This isn't kruft though. I'm not pruning out the crap from my collection. This is all of my paperbacks, with the exception of a very few collectors items. There are classics here, and some rare and/or very old and interesting novels, which I've been collecting - and frequently culling the crap out of - for over 20 years. It'd be nice if they went to good homes. :)
Kyle and Perry have been promised first pick, but after they pick through, I'll let you guys at them first-come. Just find me sometime during the event (I'll be there at lunch on Saturday through lunch on Sunday) after the boys have had a riffle, and you can grab whatever you want from the bins. If you feel obliged to compensate me for the books - which is neither required nor expected - donations will go toward Giant Settlers (which is almost finished) :D

I'm sitting at SFO. It's damn cold in here. Current time is 610am. I've been here since 1am. No sleep yet. Got into an argument a with a weed smoking hobo. I'm losing my mind and I'm out of things to look at on the internet. hungry. Flying 5 hours to Charlotte first, then back to the D. This is going to suck.

I flew out of AGO. No reliable public transit out there from my apartment for a 715am flight.
I'm in Charlotte, alive. I slept a little on the plane, I think. Woman got kicked off the plane for being frigging wasted. Caused a mess. This is one of those days it seems.
