Weekend Plans
Jun. 19th, 2008 08:44 pmOk, so I can jump on a plane tonight or tomorrow and fly out to GAIAN MIND SUMMER FESTIVAL. If I was going to drive out, I'd have needed to have already started two days ago — and I don't have the time with crazy work deadlines. I've been dithering on going so much, that plane tickets are now about ~$600 to the DC area, and ~$700 to the Pittsburgh area. Plus $145 for registration; and ~$100 for a rental car or something. Also, the site where the event is held, also seems to have an outbreak of the Norwalk virus or something, so I just have to do the burner-thing of bringing all of my drinking and washing/bathing water onto the site with me. And I'm still kinda a tiny bit ill from this whatever I've had for the last two weeks.
…Not that any of this has ever stopped me…
If I took next week off, I could visit friends on the East Coast, and then go to Anthrocon next weekend. (Which means that I'd miss San Francisco LGBT Pride.) If I fly back Sunday or Monday, that only really gives me a day or two at Gaian Mind, and an almost equal amount of time sitting on airplanes or driving around. Which is not very relaxing.
I can't really telecommute right now, because I'm currently building another server farm at work (it's a small simulation of the Internet.) So I'd get another week behind on stuff at work.
If I stay in the Bay Area, there are several parties I could attend:
feyandstrange and
digitalsidhe's Housewarming party (Sat. Jun 21 19:00-)
Kallisticon, and
tyrsalvia and
metaphorge's Housecooling party (Sat. Jun 21 21:00-)
veleda's Solstice ritual, and Burning Man thingy, the web site is down, it's supposed to be here: http://www.temple08.com/AwakeningSun.html And the party is apparently on (Fri. Jun 20 19:30-)
And then
veedub is teaching a class on Feri tomorrow (Fri Jun 20 19:00-), and wants me to show up to help teach the newbies.
I think that's it… other than the zillions of other things in my personal life I have to attend to.
