Well, I'm here. Where is everybody?
Kidding. I'm hoping to spend the days before Worldcon kicks off seeing sights and getting the lay of the land.
Nice trip so far. This part of Montreal looks oddly like Detroit, but I'm sure it must be nicer. I mean, *Detroit*....
Doing my usual hermit-crab thing for my first day in a new city, holing up in the hotel until I've got my stuff arranged and my nerves settle. Did go
out&about into the Center Desjardins which the Hyatt is attached to, though -- nice big food court, so I won't lack for fast food if I need it.
Apparently, the Modern Art museum is right next door. Just past the... big outdoor music festival that's RIGHT UNDER MY WINDOW (Francophone Follies?)
Obligatory hotel-internet rant: $70 for a week of internet access?!? At what I'm paying for this room? I've had *free* broadband as good or better
from hotels that cost me 1/3 this.
But it seems to be a regular thing for major hotels in convention cities.
