SEATTLE DAY 1: The road to PAX

We woke up at 4:20. Contrary to popular belief, this does not mean that we smoked pot. We are BUSY gamers after all.
Got into Austin Bergstrom Airport and went into the security gate, which is quite an adventure with Crutchboy, who was searched in a special room and wiped down for testing of explosive chemicals.
After that debacle, we grabbed some breakfast and went onto the plane. The first leg of the plane trip was to Santa Anna California. It was about a 2 1/2 hour flight but that was ok, because we all had a lack of sleep, so we all just crashed.
Santa Anna is beautiful. The clouds opened up and we lowered into the mountains, which is quite spectacular to a bunch of boys who live in the flat land of Texas.
The second leg of the trip was proabably about as long, but seemed longer because we were awake. I brought a graphic novel with me, and finished it. So now, I’m bored.
We got into Seattle, Gritz rented us corvettes.
Then we checked into this hotel about 20 minutes from the place. It’s quiet, out of the way, the best thing is that there is a bar next door, which is where we just spent the last 2 hours.
NOW: we are preparing to go to the covention center, register as press, and hopefully meet new people and party it up.
If Seattle is lame, Willie Nelson is playing tonight, and there is a punk rock show in downtown. So we’ll see what happens.
PS Eddie Vedder did not meet us in the terminal.
