As promised, here are replies to your comments. For a reference point, please click the comments link under my first post on August 11.

Mike - Sadly I was not sleeping, but I do appreciate your confidence in me.

David - My phone number can be found on Facebook, feel free to hunt it down. The convention officially starts on August 25 (my friggin' birthday) but there will be Associated Press writers in the tent 24/7 starting soon...I hope.

Tricia - I'm glad you waited patiently, but I must disappoint you: I was in fact not "working." What I was doing was sitting on my butt staring at flickering lights and listening to crickets. The combination of those two things, I've recently found out, is just enough to keep me awake.

Greg - You're a good friend and I can always count on you to bring up serious concerns. Such as the inevitable zombie attacks that will be the culmination of this experience.

Irina - Youth is awesome, I agree. Hopefully my experience babysitting these computers and desk chairs won't leave me emotionally and physically youth-less.

Shaun - You asked and you received. Also, you will be happy to know I have "taken stock." Thank goodness I have all this time on my hands to get homework done. If only I had bought some textbooks.....

Nana - There is very little traffic at this time of night/morning, but the ceasless train noises ought to keep the undead at bay.

Evelyne (Mouma) - There is security roaming around the grounds as well. They are lucky enough to have heated trailers to retreat to though.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time not only to read what I have to say but to comment on it as well. Special thanks to Shannon for informing me that people where actually responding to my post.
