Whee! It looks like we’re a go for September’s trip up to Chicago. We’ll be up for the Midwest Furfest board and staff meetings. takaza and I will be traveling separately since he only has a few days of vacation to work with and I, well, let’s just say I’ve got a lot of flexibility. Here’s the current plans:

Takaza flies up the night of Thursday, 9/4 and flies home the afternoon on Monday, 9/8. I will be driving up solo (yay) earlier and sticking around somewhat later. I was thinking about driving up on Monday, 9/1 until I realized that’s Labor Day and everyone will be on the road on their way home from whatever vacation they were taking. So I might be up Sunday the 31st instead, depending on how that works out for my gracious host. I’ll be heading home most likely on Tuesday the 9th, but if any MFF-related projects come up I can stick around longer. And who knows, I might even stop by and see some folks downstate on the drive home…

Gearing up for a fun weekend – got folks coming in tonight from all over. We don’t have a lot of plans (as usual) but it’ll be fun to just hang out. If nothing else, brophey is bringing his DDR pad so maybe I can practice a bit without feeling like a complete fool like I do in arcades. Hmm, maybe we’ll hit Carolina Brewing Company’s tour again – good beer! Meanwhile, I’ve got a lot of cleaning to do today, and some grocery shopping as well. Fun fun!
