From Bob Greenberger:
Well, the Davids and the Greenbergers, among many others, are snowed in at the Hunt Valley Inn as the snow continues unabated. It’s weird, you’d think being trapped an extra day at a con would be fun. Instead, it’s eerily quiet as people wander aimlessly. There’s a full slate of programming today, with evening activities added. The con, which suffered from poor attendence due to weather fears, threw their programming open to all hotel guests since, after all, no one was going anywhere. The highways were closed around 9:30 a.m. and the National Guard got called out this afternoon. The hottest selling item in the dealer’s room was the “I Survived the Farpoint Blizzard ’03” t-shirts.
Given the current forecasts, those of us returning north will not try it until Tuesday morning. The true test of patience will be filling Monday’s empty hours without a con. People are lining up to borrow Deb’s laptop since Peter has a column due at CBG on Monday and Mike Friedman is on deadline. The three of us have already picked three episodes to watch in preparation of our next Mystery Trekkie Theatre performance, so we hope it thaws out by next July.
From those of us trapped down in Baltimore, to those of you potentially trapped up in Boston, we wish you a safe journey home. And to those on the west coast, we envy your current existence.
Okay, let me see if I understand: Boskone was also this weekend, but the convention in Maryland is snowed in rather than the one in Massachusetts?
