Jim Gettys and I had a marvellous time at the first launch attempt. We
stayed at the margaritaville hotel, on san padre island. It was packed
full of space nerds, had a great pool and bar, (oh! to talk about
space stuff with fellow scientists in a pool! with a drink handy!) -
the best internet I have ever had in a hotel (fiber - and nasa has
several cameras the roof)... and easily 10k people were on the beach
for it. A bunch of spacex folk hit the bar with us afterwards. They
paid for my drinks. I serenaded "elsie"... talked an off the record
new movie with an off the record animator...

There was also a killer party on the roof after til 4am.

Looks like a good weekend ahead! But not for me, alas.
