05/26/2004 Entry: "Ask and ye shall receive..." Dog sitter problem: fixed. Like a bad dues ex machina from a poorly written Nickelodeon episode (on any show they produce), after I posted the blog, my friend April from Boston sent me an e-mail asking if she could spend the weekend at my house with a friend to show him around DC, even though we're away going to Balticon. Would we mind? Hell, no! April has stayed at our house before, and she's gone to a beach trip with us, too. Wow, what luck! Also, two of Christine's staff who were not able to come and help out with security got out of what was preventing them from coming (mostly job-related issues), so Christine has a minimal staff now. And Greg Wright, who is doing a bang-up job on program planning at Balticon, has been notified of the conflict. There's also introducing me, along with all the other guests, in Opening Ceremonies. That should be cool.
