I used to ride past Margret Mitchell's house all the time, just sayin'
Anyway, yeah, I know. People still haven't stopped giving me grief over this, and they absolutely shouldn't Don't worry, this really was the last time I'll ever camp out in a vehicle for a convention... assuming that vehicle isn't specifically designed for that sort of thing. Yep, I'm still stubbornly clinging to my statements about wanting a camper van or miniature RV for conventioning purposes. Something with a real permanent bed and exhaust fans and a functioning internal shower, I'd TOTALLY spend the weekend staying in one of those. But that's the thing: I'd ONLY do it if the vehicle were deliberately designed for that kind of long-term human occupation. I've learned the hard way here that there's just no amount of temporary, on-site modifications you can do to your bog standard van that'll make it an appropriate mode of shelter. It's simply too big a job, and the consequences of doing it wrong are too severe.
So now I transition to sleeping on people's couches and driving back and forth from sketchy motels outside of town. That's WAY safer.
Oh, and to whom it may concern: that's not just some stock sunset photo, there, that's an actual screenshot of that Gone with the Wind scene. Yoink demands nothing less.
