    I have no idea what my plans are at the mo, as it stands me and 2 of my friends are gonna be driving down from the cleveland area and meeting up with 2 of our friends when the arrive in cinci from a plane ride. Beyond that I have no clue as we've really yet to hammer out any plans yet. Near as I can tell knowing my friends and I most plans will include stupidity and general anarchy in some for or another...and not always in that order

    Finally hammered out my own plans today:

    Tuesday: Leave Dallas in the evening after work to drive to Memphis, spend the night.

    Wednesday: Drive into Bowling Green, KY to see a couple of caves in the area around Mammoth Cave National Park. Spend the night in Bowling Green.

    Thursday: See a couple more caves in the area, then drive into Cincinnati in the early afternoon, stopping at Florence, KY on the way to get my super-cheapo motel room for the weekend. Go to the con, wait several hours in line for my registration pickup, meet another TFW2005 member to pick up the 2008 figure boxed set I'm buying from him, enjoy the opening night festivities at the con.

    Friday thru Sunday: Enjoy the con, meet people, spend money, lose my mind! Oh, and find a girlfriend or boyfriend Transfan, if I can hook that up, lol. :p 

    Sunday afternoon: Take off when the interesting con stuff is over, drive back to Bowling Green, KY, catch one late afternoon cave tour if I can. Spend the night in Bowling Green.

    Monday: See one or two more caves, then the long drive back to Dallas. Home by late Monday evening, hopefully - catch up on my days-long withdrawl from my City of Heroes crack. :D

    FLy in Tuesday Night, hopefully have a place to crash lined up by then.

    Wednesday I have Customization Class at 9:00, get back, crash for a bit I guess.

    Thursday, Meet up with everyone, set up in the room with Liokaiser, Arcee, and Optimus Scourge. From then on, hang with the 2005 peeps, get to know them better. Loose my liver in the process.

    Fly out Sunday, back to work 5 am Monday.

    April 24th: Leave Brooklyn with Aprim for a nice 10 hour road trip and then get there just in time to register.

    Everything after that will be on a whim!
