I was planning to check closer to my flight time, but even now, 6.5 hours before scheduled takeoff, there's a 30 minute delay. Hope it doesn't get too much longer...as long as they don't cancel it, I should be okay. Multiple digits crossed!</p>Thanks for the reminder, Kate!

So sorry to hear you've had such a rough time with travels and will be missing PaizoCon entirely. I'm flying later today, after my son gets out of school, and I guess I'd better check flight status and such. Better luck to you next year!

<p>My schedule has (mostly) opened up this weekend, I live in the Puget Sound area and most importantly have permission from wife and kids to attend for a bit. This is why I want to go:
<br />
1) Events/talks - there are some I'm interested in each day
<br />
2) High five people I recognize from irl, podcasts, etc
<br />
3) Visit vendors
<br />
4) Swag (if available)
<br />
5) Sitting in on a game if possible (less important given the last minute prep and I don't often play PFS)</p>
<p>My questions: First, is it unheard of for me to purchase a one day ticket so late in the process and drop in for fun?</p>
<p>Second: Which of the following scenarios would be reasonable:</p>
<p>Option 1 - Friday 5/26 - Arrive at noon, leave at 4/5pm
<br />
Option 2 - Saturday 5/27 - Arrive at noon, leave at 7pm
<br />
Option 3 - Sunday 5/28 - Arrive (as early as) 8am, leave 4/5pm</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>Hey Buddies,
