Well, frak.

I'm at the Holiday Inn Aeroport in Montreal after Air Canada cancelled my flight. I have an 0630 flight tomorrow and will at least try to get to work after I arrive.

The good news is that this has become an extension of the con; I'm sitting in the restaurant with Scott Edelman and a couple other stranded congoers. Apparently the NW flight to Detroit was cancelled due to crew rest issues, so several of the non-Boston contingent are also still in Montreal.

Extend the con!

A huge bank of fog enveloped downtown Boston and Logan around 5:30 pm, and a thunderstorm followed a few hours later. That's probably why you're delayed.

Boo! We have your backpack of games when you do make it back into town. Say hi to Scott and thank him for being awesome about the kaffeeklatch mixup!

There was a brief but heavy rainstorm here in Montreal around 3 pm; I wonder if it was related to the delay/cancellation.

I'm so glad. :)

Totally!

Oh! Now see, if I had been there I would be stranded too!

It's all signs and more signs.

Oh man, this is epic weatherfail.

I'm sorry things have gotten messed up for you, but glad that their mess-up-edness is not interfering with interesting conversations.

ugh. We drove back today, with no problems.

However, "Snow Con" (the Arisia where it snowed so much that most attendees were stranded at the Park Plaza for the extra day) was one of the most fun times ever. I hope you enjoy the company around you!
