Death and taxes

Ill omens? I can't say. We stayed at a Comfort Inn last night near the
event site. This morning, as we were eating breakfast a man ran into the
office screaming for someone to call 911. The manager and I ran down to
the room next to ours. But there was nothing to be done. The mans wife
had obviously passed away in her sleep. The womans sister was
hysterical. Police and ems arrived in short order. I wasn't very hungry
after that. We daparted quietly.

We arrived on site and were shunted to a holding area where we had to
wait for troll to open (picture above). We eventually got on site and
set up. Set up at an outdoor event is three times harder than a
convention. There's a sales tent to set up, our camping tent, tables,
rug. This is all before stock gets unpacked and set up. Exhausted, we
dragged ourselves 20 miles to the nearest town to get our last semi
decent meal (god bless you Golden Dragon Buffet). Tomorrow the event
officially opens and we start makin money. At least, that's the theory.
