Capclave.

[rivka]

This coming weekend, curiousangel, thelilalex, and I will be at Capclave in Silver Spring, MD.

Looks like I'll be seeing several of you there. Anyone want to make advance arrangements to get together for a meal? Anyone who's done it before have advice about babies and SF cons?

Don't expect a nice quiet meal at a nice restaurant. Ain't gonna happen :)

"Family-friendly" is now your watchword.

Always have the stroller handy, and make sure that ANY panel you go to (whichever of you has the baby), you're sitting in the back of the room. Be prepared to leave at any time.

Carry spare plastic bags for diapers, since you can't guarantee a bathroom and a changing station where you need one.

Arrange in advance to have someone else watching the baby so you can go to a panel that you absolutely do not want to miss.

If there's a lovie involved, do NOT forget it at home (I once had my dad FedEx a stuffed bear to the Disclave hotel, overnight, Saturday delivery).

Alex is still good about falling asleep in the sling when it's time, so we might be able to get away with nice restaurant meals for one more trip - as long as we plan them for just after bedtime. Failing that, there's always carry-out.

What a good father you are. :-)

We had to hear him wail all the way from the Verazzano to Tyson's Corner. It was worth every penny spent. (I was seriously considering turning around and driving up to NY just to get it).
