My flights are booked, and I've cleared the days at work. I'm now a definite,
StarG.
I arrive one day early on Thursday (and will try to fast-track my way out of jetlag -- although jetlag might actually work to my advantage when the festivities begin), and will stay for an extra half-week.
MegatopLover, I hope to meet you and Mr. Megatop for drinks at some point.
