They tell me they are sorting it.

[Drunk Monk]

Looks like I’m sleeping with the boss.


Oooooh, that came out wrong.

To get an additional night added to my reservation is $900 at this stage of the game, so I’m crashing in the boss’ room. He’s a drinker and we’ll be coming from the Den of Geek party, where there will be drinks - free designer cocktails - and snacks. 

At least I’m not in that Hall H line… I’m gonna give Hall H a miss this time. No need for me to be there and my time is limited.

[Greg]

Sweet. I hope he doesn't get handsy.

[Drunk Monk]

Yeah that would be awkward. I doubt it’ll be an issue but there will be libations. Cosplay hookerz & spice blow? What happens at SDCC is shown on some dumb podcast later…

[Greg]

I'm guessing there will be a ton of new trailers by Monday.

[Drunk Monk]

...if not sooner. New trailers be dropping like overweight diabetic nerds and broken martial artists with messed up spines. 

I'm pretty much packed. I'm waiting to get my boarding pass in an hour (southwest's dumb online check in) and need to print out a few essential documents just in case my phone craps out (it's happened before - the load on the grid at events taxes access). 

Sounds like getting settled will be a trial. I'll take the bus from the airport (just like I did last time - it's a straight short shot) then hope to hook up with my boss to stow my luggage. There are three pass pick ups - covid check, show pass, and lanyard/bag/program. I suspect I'll have to wait until Friday for that last one because it closes earlier. 

Despite my comments on the nortriptyline, my nerve pain does seem much less. Now its just muscluar and I did not take any relaxants today. I've been saving my heavy hitters for the weekend.

[Greg]

I've decided to stop falling. It's bad for my health.

Good call.

Boarding pass secured using the Southwest app.

Hey, can you remove the 2009 off the title of this thread? That's so dated now...

[Greg]

Maybe.

[Drunk Monk]

Maybe.

[Drunk Monk]

When the Rock pumps up the mag you've contributed towards and you're headed to the release party tonight...

[Greg]

I hope that is a screening you get to go to. Maybe the Rock will be at the DoG party?

[Drunk Monk]

That would be crazy. 

The screener is way out obvs. I did just get a screener invite for Bullet Train which I’m excited about because I already wrote the article.

[Greg]

That seems like cheating to write the article before seeing the movie.

[Drunk Monk]

Not when you get an exclusive interview with the director beforehand.
