It's On!

The At-Home Dad Convention is underway. While the official festivities start tomorrow, the early wave of dads is already having a blast:

We're off to a great start! The pre-convention dinner and pub crawl on Thursday 11/9 was a big success...we had some of KC's best fried chicken and soul food at Peachtree in the 18th & Vine Jazz district followed by a trip to O'Dowds Irish Pub in the Country Club Plaza near the convention hotel. Initial reports about the hotel are very positive...nice rooms, comfy beds, good spaces for hanging out. First photos should show up through the link on rebeldad.com as soon as flikr indexes them.

And in case you're a local (to Kansas City) dad looking for information on what it's all about, the Kansas City Star ran a brief preview article with the 411.

Please keep an eye on the convention-report box above, and I'll do my best to keep an eye on the conventioneers.
