River and I will be headin' over that way shortly before lunch so as to hit the Planet Houston area well before the afternoon rush hour (only an hour? what a joke!). She'll be in a cage due to recent ankle surgery, but it's all good: someone's gotta carry the luggage and adult beverages

. We'll probably stop by the HoJo first just to make sure we've got a bed to crawl into after the opening night's festivities. At the moment, not planning to do anything noteworthy as far as the trip over: straight down I-10. Yes, boring, but relatively safe.
Anyone got the inside track on what the weather's supposed to be like this weekend? San Antonio is showing scattered showers Thursday and Friday, but I've got rain gear if needed
