Thank you. : )

I just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who said hi, hung out with, berated, or just plain stared at--(jk) me at Arisia. I wish I could have stayed longer (and for the Masquerade) but I had to run to beat the storm (And WHAT a storm it has turned out to be...)

So, I know I met some people, but I also didn't get all contact information of said people. So... leave something in my LJ. (And if you're not sure, my picture is last entry back. X) I was the dark curly-haired chick with the saber and the leather studded corset...and the boots with neverending quantities of buckles).

Just curious, but how did the masquerade go? I wanted to stay so very badly. x.x

Thanks so much everyone. ^_^

P.S. Does anyone know the Phantom that was there? <_< I just thought it'd be cool to talk to him again. He gave me a rose and quite frankly... oh all right, I've been slowly turning into a Phantom Phreak. Sue me. X) Everyone have a great evening/morning, and be careful with the blizzard.

Thank You, Arisia Con-goers!

On behalf of the New England Garrison of the Fighting 501st, I'd like to thank all of you for making our first appearance at Arisia a productive and memorable one. Thanks to all of your efforts we were able to raise $500 for Katie http://www.heartofanempire.com/Katie/ . We couldn't have done it without all of you.

We are looking forward to coming back to Arisia next year. In preparation, since this was our first time officially attending the con as a group, what did you think of us? What would you like to see in the future? Were you adequately harassed and ticketed?

Thanks again! To see photos members of our group took check out our website at http://www.501neg.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=213 . Also, check there to see where we'll be in the future, because with Episode III coming soon it will be a busy year for the NEG. We're always looking for the few, the strong, the expendable to join our ranks!

Travel notes

[ckd]

Boston's Logan International Airport is basically closed. Their departure status page claims that some flights are on time, but if you check the airline's web site, it will often show the flight as cancelled.

SmarTraveler is showing basically all roads in the Boston area as "Severe weather. Avoid travel." including the Mass Pike (I-90).

Amtrak's morning train to NYC is "Estimated arrival: 3 hours late". Call or check their website for info on your train if you are traveling by train.

The MBTA transit updates page shows delays on all subway and commuter rail lines, and changes or cancellations to bus service. Buses will be using "main roadways" only and will not be following the established snow routes. No boat service to Quincy or the Charlestown Navy Yard.
