I'm Pretty Sure Some of You Guys Are Arriving...

It's great to be here early. We have been doing the tourist thing for the past few days...but every time I walk through the lobby or past Jack's Pub I still take a quick look to see if anyone's here.

We were in the lobby the other day and there was a guy who looked very much like Dirk Losander. (He had an accent too.)

"He's here for MindVention," said Sheree softly. "You should go and say hello."

"Why?" I asked -- which seemed, to me to be a reasonable question.

She shrugged and said "Because." (Like this explains everything.)

"It doesn't start for three days. No way," I responded. "Besides...if he is here for MindVention I'll see him soon enough."

I'm talking to the air. Sheree is standing in front of the Dirk doppelganger.

"Are you with MindVention?" she asks.

He looks at her for a long second. Then he scowls. "No." He goes back to his conversation.

I savor the moment because this is very likely the only time I am going to be right all weekend.
