Finally, just maybe, a Philadelphia sports team can successfully bring a championship to the City of Brotherly Love for the first time in many years! I was but 4 years old when the Phillies took it in 1980, so I hope they can do it now to erase the bad memories of 1993... Anyhow, to all my fellow Phillies Phans (I know you're out there!).. you gotta believe! 4 wins to go... as of this writing, the AL team is still undecided... if the Red Sox can make the miracle comeback I hope for (only because they might be an easier opponent for my Phihtin' Phills...), great.

I just booked yesterday at the Raddison Lord Baltimore, and they mentioned that when I arrive, I need to bring my "event invitation" for Otakon (I guess to prove I am attending and deserve the con rate). Can the Otakorp Hotel Liason inform them that our convention ISN'T by invitation, and that if they DO require proof of attending the convention, they should request people bring a printout of their convention registration reciept if they are pre-reg'ed, and some other suitable proof they are attending the con if they are not pre-reg'ed. I'm not 100% sure what they were talking about
