In other exciting news, just over 3 days till I leave for Illinois and #ACB23 Excitement's somewhat tempered by the weather forecast though, looks like the Chicago area's experiencing increasingly poor air quality due to Canadian forest fires and temps in the high 80's/low 90's next week. Fortunately most convention activities are inside, but still pretty worrying. Plus there may be thunderstorms here in NY on Saturday. Praying they won't affect my flight.
