I'd go to a Beastboy circus. But I'd prefer a Starfire nightclub.

I'm planning on being there as an observer. Or the Observer, but without the funky white makeup and cowl, and not sounding like Tom Servo.

Yay! I wasn't sure if you'd be able to make it, OldOne. Glad to hear it!

Well this is supposed to be a family website.

Anyway since we're no longer doing a draft Friday I will be bringing my clix since a few others that that will be showing up have expressed little interest in constructed magic.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Okay, we're moving the time up to 5:30, because I've heard that a few people will have to leave early and we want to have as much time as we can. Remember to bring food.

Problems have come up where pretty much most of my original plans for this weekend have fallen through. My rider bailed on me, making it a pretty expensive drive (that I could have paid the same amount to fly), and my old roommate that I was staying with and going to hang out with most of the weekend moved this week and there was some communication problem where she assumed we'd just get together occasionally and I'd be staying somewhere else, rather than hanging out with her most of the time and going to Conference with her.

I'm beginning to think I need to postpone this trip. I really wanted to go to Conference, but it's becoming too complicated. That's 24 hours of driving without a rider, and a lot of gas money. Much as I want to hang out with you guys on Friday night, most of my other plans are shot, and I'm not sure that it's a good idea right now.

I don't want to plan Friday night with you all and then have to bail at the last minute, but I'm thinking it's just not the right timing. I can hopefully come down later if I find a cheap airplane ticket or something, or a rider, but driving 12 hours each way by myself with gas being where it is, and not even having the main plans I made on the other end come through, is probably a sign to postpone to a better time.

Can anyone make an argument for why I should come after all? I'm really trying to justify it in my head, but the more I think about it, the more I think I should just stay home this weekend.

As someone non-involved, I think not going would be the more prudent decision, Stacer.

I'm sorry to hear it, and I wish I could come up with something to convince you, but the truth is, if it was me, I wouldn't come either. Without a rider the cost of your trip just doubled, as did the amount of driving. Come down later when it's easier and we'll throw you a big party.

D'oh! Sorry to hear that, stacer.

You're still not allowed to get sick this weekend, though.  ;D

Oh, and anyone want my conference tickets for Sunday morning? I think if I mailed them out by this afternoon they'd get to you by Saturday. Four tickets, section BA2, which I'm assuming is the balcony, section 2, way up on the left.

Ya save your money, maybe come down for LUTE or Spring Conference.  You could probably get $100 tickets on southwest for one of those times.

Also this begs the question, are we still doing anything Friday?  I know about half the people that were going to come were doing so just becasue of Stacer.

Unless someone says otherwise, I'm still planning on coming and bringing something for potluck. I have a babysitter for the kids lined up. So if we're bailing, tell me now so I can warn the sitter.

Well then let me say it's been cancled.  We called around last night and all we could get were 3 people (me, Fell and Mr. Fish).

Ms. Fish got married and didn't tell me?

Or she had a sex change??!

Either way, I'm highly offended that I was not informed.
