The Final Starfest Saga

Old Russell T's log, Earth date 2022 05 12. I woke up at 0520 this morning to make sure everything was packed and loaded. I got the kids up and fed, said goodbye to my wife, and hit the pavement at 0710.

The walk to the bus station from my house is about 18 minutes. I snapped a few pictures of the beautiful sunrise on my way.

I boarded the Colorado Bustang and left for Denver, an easy, lazy journey consisting of a three and a half hour regional bus ride to Denver Union Station, and then a few minutes of walking to connect to the light rail train to the Tech Center, which is where i am now. Mellow and uneventful, which is how I like it.

I'm sitting in this beautifully appointed lobby at the Hyatt, the centerpiece of which is a huge, grand staircase to a second level and an immense, twelve story high foyer, complete with an elevator that goes all the way to the top.

Familiar faces are starting to trickle in, although it doesn't really start in earnest until tomorrow night. The mood seems good, although there's a sadness I'm curious to see shake out. This will be, as well know it, the final Starfest. We will see how it goes.
