Yoga, labyrinth, and climbing. Also football.

I will once again be leading yoga Saturday and Sunday mornings at the con so wanted to remind anyone who might be interested that, though we plan to provide towels and/or blankets, those of you who've attended in the past know how plans can go awry, so if you aren't bringing your own mat, you may want to bring a couple of towels from your room just in case. Also note that we are starting a little earlier: 8:30a (eek) and will run just over an hour. If that's not enough inner peace, you can go right from there to walk the labyrinth (Sat & Sun 10-11a and Sun 6-8p).

If you know you will be at yoga and have any special requests or concerns you'd like to address ahead of time, feel free to leave a comment or drop me a note. As always, it will be "all-levels", so don't ask for Crow. :)

Saturday and Sunday at 2-3p will be the official Arisia stair climb: Summit Mt. Arisia! Start at the bottom and receive a ribbon when you reach the top. This year's climb is dedicated to the memory of the very recently departed Sir Edmund Hillary, who I hope would smile if he knew.

(I'm also co-hosting the Geocaching BoF, but Eric has already promoted that. I'm starting to sense a pattern to my activities this year...)

And speaking of assorted physical activity and the con, does anyone know if the Pats game will be on somewhere? I'll be busy for most of it, but I'd love to tune in when I can and I know many others are looking for the same. I know it's been done before, but, not being a football fan, I never cared to find out. This year I've been sucked in despite myself.

I was on the 12th or 13th floor last year, so I did my share of climbing Mt Arisia already. And I probably will need to do the same again this year. Hopefully the elevator situation will be better this year, but I don't expect it to be (those elevators were not disigned for the capacity that the con requires of them).

Oh yes, "Don't touch the doors or let them bump into you when they're closing." Great as long as you only have 2-3 people getting on or off at a time.

also, depending on interest level, it is possible there may not be enough room in the con suite for all...

*ducks before responses from those feeling strongly about not seeing it*

nice dedication on the Climb -- I am looking forward to it!
