So here we are. In a few hours I’ll leave work, stop by home to check the mail and any last-minute deliveries, then head down to the Westin Chicago North Shore. My email access will be spotty to nonexistent between 2 PM today and Monday evening, so if you need to reach me, call my cell phone. Remember that while I can receive text messages, don’t expect them to be read immediately.

This is going to be an amazing convention. We have a hell of a staff and we’ve had 11+ months to prepare for this. We are going to rock that damn hotel, and we are going to make this convention a success. I hope to see many of you there!
