Open the ring and take one in and kiss them when you get them in
I aten't dead; I'm in Providence. I have been put up in a room at the Graduate (formerly and existentially still the Biltmore) that is spatially swanky and furnished in an extreme hipster style that at the moment I am finding congenial, if a little bewildering. There is a still life of donuts on the wall next to the walk-in closet. There is a portrait of a parakeet and a painting of a heroic football bronze on the far side of the couch. The living room light fixture resembles a giant clam shell. Actually I like that a lot. I wish the wallpaper with a pattern of bookshelves were real bookshelves; I could be reading Lovecraft and Caitlín right now. Getting to the train station this afternoon was an unexpected headache and the train itself turned out to contain a small child whose parents should really not have given it a noisemaking toy for the duration of the trip, but I was met at the station by Niels-Viggo Hobbs and I had dinner at Sura with Merlin Cunniff and afterward we caught a short film by Daphne Gem and Xander Marro, themed around the Victorian language of flowers, as the opening act of a show at the Dirt Palace; then I ran entirely out of stamina and Merlin saw me back to the hotel. I unpacked my clothes experimentally into the dresser, since I'll be here for five days. Tomorrow, NecronomiCon proper begins. So far it has been quite nice and I am not getting up in the morning until I have to.

I will endeavor to report from the scene!
(I find the two-part bathroom a little weird, but I am really enjoying the couch-and-coffee-table setup and the giant clam lamp.)

This is somehow both the best and worst design choice I can think of.
Have a great trip!!

I can't figure out if all of the books are real or only some of them! I feel a title like The Truth About Donut Holes could go either way.
Have a great trip!!
Thank you!

Thank you! I'm certainly enjoying the pre-con.

It seems Providence-specific (there are local authors, city and state history, apparent in-jokes about RISD), but it might be part of a wider set of city papers.

It felt like an auspicious start, once I finally got out of Boston!

Thank you! (I do not appreciate having to ration my stamina from before the start of this one, but I will make it work.)

The Art Deco and the hipster are fighting it out to the death. I'm honestly not sure who's going to win.

You won't see me for dust. I like my socks.

Have a grand time at the con!

It is definitely not the way I would furnish a room I lived in (except maybe the clam lamp), but I am enjoying it to stay in.
Have a grand time at the con!
Thank you! So far, so good!
