March Madness, Yay!

[przed]

It's March, which means it's time to pull out the Bucky icon for another year. And he'll get a bit more time than last year, since Wisconsin has actually made it to the Sweet Sixteen next weekend. Hoorah!

CBS, damn them, only showed the first half of the Badger's first game against Cal State Fullerton on Thursday night. Which probably isn't too bad a thing, since I was trying to watch it with a migraine. (For the record, watching basketball with a migraine? Really bad idea. All that quick movement and the squeaking of basketball shoes on hardwood... shudder.)

To make up for this glaring oversight, they showed pretty much the entire game against Kansas State this afternoon. And after a bit of a rough start, the Badgers pretty much dominated the game, winning by nearly 20 points.

The next game is next Friday against Georgetown. (Hey there, ancastar!) I'll be attending our local SF con, Ad Astra, next weekend, but I'm hoping to adjust my sked around Wisconsin's games. 'Cause a girl's gotta have her priorities. *g*

Do we know what day(s) we're attending Ad Astra?

The schedule still isn't up on their website, which is typical for the con.

I'm definitely planning on going Saturday. I'm going to hook up with a friend, canadiansuzanne, after she does a panel at 1. I'll probably aim for being there early-ish.

I may go for at least a few hours on Sunday too. A friend from work (she's had a few stories published in Strange Horizons and On Spec) is planning on going that day.

The only fly in the ointment is going to be transport. The hotel is in the middle of construction (oh joy) and has restricted parking, so I'm not sure how easy it's going to be to drive. I may just TTC it.

D'oh! The sked is up: http://www.ad-astra.org/Schedule.php

My plan is hit the con at 10, do a few panels, hit my friend's reading at 3:30, hang with her. Any of that sound groovy to you?

Too bad there isn't a printable version, but I'll live.

It's awkward to get to on the TTC. They're doing all valet parking. I've told Paul I'm either taking the car or he can drive me there if he wants the car for the day. Why don't I pick you up?
