I was going to post on Monday that I'd be leaving on Wednesday. I'm going to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and I'm driving down. I'll be making a pitstop to pick up Cary (who plays Guy of Gisborne) and drag her off with me. (Dawn, who plays Crowley, Jareth & Sweeney will be meeting us there.) So I will be gone from about this Wednesday to next Wednesday, and I was going to let y'all know that at the beginning of the week.
So why am I posting early?
Hurricane Irene.
I'm not on the coast, but not that far inland either, and given past history with storms with heavy winds in my area, I fully anticipate losing power if this sucker hits as hard as they're predicting it will in our area. If there's a major power outage up here, it can take them a few days to clear everything up. So I wanted to let y'all know I'll be gone while I still have guaranteed power and internets.
With any luck, the hurricane will not be quite as bad as anticipated. But keep the east coast members of our game in your thoughts... it's been a long week over here. :)
