You're driving, it's mainly up to you, but I wouldn't mind cutting an hour off personally. What would that entail, us going to your lakehouse Thursday night? Seems doable. Also if we decided to go with that option I would probably come up to your college Wednesday night.

I don't give a crap when we get to the con. We'll probably wander around it for about two hours, decide we're ridiculously bored, then go back to the hotel anyway. So anytime between, yknow..like 1pm and 8pm. Just to narrow it down.
