魔法少女プリティジューリャ

Rather unexpectedly, I'll be at Burning Man next week, camping at 'Sacred Spaces Village [SSV]'; Which is apparently not on the Esplanade this year.

So, New Years Halloween is upon us again. And I don't have any plans. There's all this stuff: http://twitter.com/sfslim, and a rave up in the woods near Los Gatos (different from the one on Treasure Island), and a party at a friend's place in SF, and Yaoicon, and a zillion other things I'm probably forgetting. I'm leaning towards going out into the wilderness and doing spooky stuff, as I've done the previous two years. So, quick! Someone suggest an activity!

OMG: http://www.sfweekly.com/events/music/?date=2009-05-23
I might be able to get my passport and make it to Berlin by next week, but I really don't have the time .

Sigh, do I want to go to Super Happy Dev House 31? I have a bunch of research I need to write up, and I otherwise have the day completely free. I can work on my research at SHDH31, but I'll probably end up spending several hours talking about the differences between Von Neumann and Harvard architectures, or modern Superscalar processor design.

BURNAL EQUINOX 2009
WonderCon 2009
And a housewarming party, which is a crazy long drive away from here. I still have no idea if I'm even doing any of these this weekend. (Cause there's a lot of other things I won't be doing. (ugh, opportunity cost))

I should figure out if I'm going to CanSecWest soon. It's on March 16-20.

Also, everyone go play with this for me: ConThingy I don't have time to really look at it right now.

OMG, it's Halloween, how did that happen?!

So, I should really do something to celebrate new years, like dress up and go to a party, or going out into the woods to do spooky things. But I think I'd get more satisfaction and fulfillment right now if I just stay at home and process the last few months of photos.

Update:
Tomorrow, Ghostship party: http://spacecowboys.org
Tonight: http://galaxyraver.com/viewtopic.php?f=174&t=646&sid=8bde3c54976f57c3b183c3118f87ec88
and French bordello Halloween masquerade ball.
and a party at someone's house in Half Moon Bay.

There is also this stuff.

There's also usually gigantic parties on the streets around the Castro in SF. But I heard the city was tring to stop that from happening. And there's also the large drunken street crowd scene in Santa Cruz. Not sure if it's going to rain tonight though.

Gotta get organized…
12:00-20:00 Market & 2nd St. San Francisco Love Fest
14:00-14:45 Mission Dolores Park Mp3 Experiment San Francisco
14:00-23:00 345 Spear St. SuperHappyDevHouse
20:00-? Party at nasu_dengaku's house.
Outside San Francisco:
10:00-18:00 Hollister, CA Ren Faire
00:00-23:59 San Jose, CA Silicon

And then a bunch of parties like this one.

Ok, 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.

So, there's BELTANE ALCHEMY: http://www.isisoasis.org/beltane2008/
And Costume-Con 26: http://www.cc26.info/
And a party at gentle_gamer's house.
Since the weather is supposed to be super-nice tomorrow, I really want to spend it outdoors. So I'm probably going to none of the above. (There's also taking a day off to clean my room and process photos and stuff like that which I never have time to do.)
I've been informed that there is also a parade taking place in downtown Mountain View tomorrow as well.

Ok, tonight, there's a Alexander James Adams concert tonight, and a party with laughingstone et al. and maradydd and enochsmiles are arriving back from Europe and I want to spend some time with them.

Tomorrow and Sunday, there's the party at laughingstone and everyone's place, and the Exotic Erotic Ball, and the Freaker's Ball, and a Feri Spiral Dance thingy up in the city, and Yaoi-Con.

And then on Wed (Oct 31), Nyah wants to celebrate Samhain with me, and there's a Landmark Seminar I'm thinking of attending, and there's also the Odd Ball in Santa Cruz that night. (In addition to the large street parties in SF and SC.)

My current plans are to spend time with Nyah, and the Freaker's ball.
