Hmm...that depends. Were you at any of head58's weekend gaming events at his abode? At least when I was there? I'm hard to miss--I'm the one incessantly talking about music to head58 and Lynx. I will most likely talk your ear off about music as well if given the chance.
Ooh, cell phones. Now I can repeatedly call Lynx and ask "Can you hear me now?" until he finds me and gives me a world of pain. :p Seriously, though...I actually don't own a cell phone. It's a luxury I don't really need right now (and, admittedly, can't afford). I've told people that I refuse to get a cell phone until I get an agent for my books. ;) However, I might be able to borrow one from one of my sisters if need be. As for my email, if I don't have a link on this page (I thought I did...), I'm at Yahoo.com. Guess what the first part is! heh.
As for advice/guidance: You picked a hell of a con to start with!! This is the grand poobah, the big 'un. And with the fact that Pratchettites are going to be swarming like no tomorrow, it should be a boatload of fun. I don't know if you're going in as a reader or a writer (I'm more the latter than the former), but either way, just go and have fun. And you might learn a few things. My first con was Readercon a few years ago, and I had no clue what would be happening. I remember sitting in the lobby of the hotel thinking "this is soooo cool. All these writers I recognize!" Total fanboy geek mode. It wore off quick though, replaced with a very egoistic "I'm in the same hotel as my peers. That is even cooler." Ha!
Oh--and make time for eating. I made a bad habit of surviving on the soda and pretzels and jelly beans in the Con Suite, which was a very bad move. Pack some nonperishable stuff if you can. Better yet, there's a Star Market just around the corner at the Prudential Mall (and a Walgreens across the street from it) if ever you need foodstuffs or other amenities. Hotels can and often will overcharge you for things like that.
Gods, my replies are getting longer than my posts. Something's wrong here...
