I made it! ~ Lisa Sabin-Wilson

The three hour flight from Milwaukee to Houston was a nail biter the whole way. You know the kind of turbulance that lifts you as your behind a foot off your seat? Yep - I had three straight hours of that, with no let up.

…

But I’m here — all checked in and signed up for the conference and am rarin’ to go.

Since I arrived pretty early (yesterday) - I took the opportunity to hit the shopping malls in Austin. What kind of girl would I be if I didn’t, I ask? The weather here is GORGEOUS! Hmm.. Wisconsin, who?

Being down here ala carte (all by myself) and not knowing a SOUL in sight, this will make socializing a bit of a challenge. Slow but sure, I’m getting into that conference state of mind, though - - it’s kind of hard NOT to catch on to the friendly and easy going spirit down here in Austin this weekend. If you see me down here at all - don’t be afraid to walk up and say hi. I’m the tall, blonde with the geeky black rimmed glasses. (yea, not a lot of geeky black glasses down here at a GEEK fest now is there?)

Tomorrow is the BIG day - our panel starts at 3pm. Last minute homework to do tonight to prepare. I’ll let ya know how it goes!
