Walking Home from the Rangers Game at NCTE, I Saw a Building Decorated Like Christmas Oz and I Was Like, Whoa! It's Right Around the Corner

First full day of NCTE work, mostly with NWP, has me exhausted and I didn't even have to present. Best part of the day was hearing Percieval Everett speak about his award-winning James, one of the best books I've ever read. Well, guess who was an opening, Keynote speaker? BOOM. Not much gets me excited in my later years, but this was one I could find decent fingersnaps for.

Dave also got us tickets for the Rangers/Avalanche game and he went all out on our seats. We were up front and ready to see everything. The Rangers lost, but the crowd excitement was worth every second of it, even it it made me miss NWP evening events. Also had a great gourmet BLT, so I'm okay with my decisions.

Today begins the presentations and I need to find time to do University work. Friday and Saturday are about impossible, but I will make it through all the sessions. I always do.

I need to head back to the convention center so will keep this short. All is well, safe, and going accordingly. I did, however, neglect to back clothes for two days. Not sure what I was thinking in my arrangement of outfits. We shall see what funky displays I come up with over the next day. Phew.
