Everything happens at once

That HP monitor I found while digging through boxes turned out to be so old it uses a VGA video cable. Welp. Probably going to wind up using it with one or another of the several laptops I have lying around the place.
So I set up the printer, got the desktop to see it, but unfortunately I can't find any of the paper I was sure I had in the tub next to the desk. Well, at least I can print the badges. I'll just have to make sure the program book and registration forms are on my phone before I head over to the print shop tomorrow. I'll pick up a couple reams of paper on the way home from Las Vegas next week, and shelve the plan to offer Battletech CCG to the masses. until next year.
Looks like Caitlin and one of the folks from Maggie's Discord can't make it, which at least saves the convention a couple nights' worth of room costs. On the other hand, there's a fantasy author who'll be spending most of the weekend at SDCC who's going to drop by Sunday to check us out. I'm going to try real hard to sell him on the notion of having us be his local con, where fans who can't make it to SDCC will nonethless be able to meet and hang out with him a bit.
Managed to get laundry done yesterday, but today's plans to be productive were spoiled by an early wakeup followed by a midday nap followed by baseball (lost 2 of 3 to Pittsburgh) and then there was nothing to do but play a little Civicrack, make various bacon-based sammiches, run the dishwasher, and finally get around to the daily blogging. Lord, so many posts about the attempted assassination.
Tomorrow I need to get up early and pack, get my hair cut, get stuff done at the print shop, fuel up, and head down the road to the Strat, where I'll be staying tomorrow and Wednesday nights before moving to the Plaza on Thursday. So I better wrap this up, finish with the badges and reg forms, and get my ass to bed.
