It’s almost the afternoon and I have not yet gone down my checklist for TDC. Shame, shame on me. I gotta get that started now. I’m going to bring some of the smaller stuff downstairs today so it’s ready to go into the van. I hurt my low back somehow yesterday at eid prayers – it’s always something, if not a cold or the flu then my back. 
I guess I’ll plan to be at the convention center by 9 a.m. I’ll get set up and then I guess I can try to go over to the Hilton and check in (and straighten out my complicated reservation). (The HIlton and convention center are connected by a walkway.) Maybe I should actually plan to be at the convention center by 8. The bazaar opens at 11, but so does the eid fest carnival, so I don’t know how crazy it will be. I guess I need to confirm with the bazaar coordinator what floor the bazaar is on and all that. OK, that and the checklist and the bank are for this afternoon.
