Excitement
Fire alarm roused the convention, the dancing girls, the junior baseball teams, and the wedding party and sent us all out onto the lawn at 1:00 a.m. We milled about on the grass until the fireman came and cleared us, which they did in remarkably short order.
This written on The Leewit from the lobby, as we wait for the entire population of the hotel to return to their rooms, via three elevators.
The three mundane sisters who set down next to us, are blaming the "science fiction people" for having set off the alarm. The firemen explained that an alarm went off in someone's room and that there could be a number of reasons why it had done so, including vapor from a shower. Nonetheless, the three ladies have it decided between them: it is the science fiction people who are to blame. They have demanded to speak to Hotel Management, their contention being that the entire hotel did not need to be evacuated, and they themselves, alone among us all, were Inconvenienced.
...back in the room now, having been escorted along Secret Ways and Dark, and soon, I hope, to sleep. Friends of Liad Breakfast in the hotel cafe at 8 a.m. There Will Be coffee.
Note to self: Next time, if you can only grab one thing to take with you, try the wallet with your ID and credit cards.

The upshot? I did get to spend some time with the filkers, which I haven't done for a while. The downside? The nearly 3 year old is not asleep yet, at 2:30 am ::sigh::
