Convention Alley -- The Full Scoop -- Part One of Two

At 8 a.m. on Friday, July 30, avarill, lydaclunas and I jumped into our minivan and hit the road for Ottawa.

( Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Didn't Exit Back There: or, The Anatomy of a Canadian Traffic Jam )

( Friday night at CA: Fish and Fic )

All of us had custom shirts made by yours truly for the occasion -- ( T-Shirts! With pictures even! )

And that's the scoop for the first day. Tonight or tomorrow, I'll put up the second part of the report, with details of the various presentations we attended, pictures from callyperry's digital camera, and an explanation of why stalking Steve Vander Ark is our new favourite pastime.
