Summer Travel

[dr_pretentious]

I just booked my tickets for Writer's Weekend. If all goes according to plan, I should be landing at SeaTac around 5pm on Wednesday, 21 June. As of Thursday, early afternoonish, I start working my ass off as a conference volunteer, but from early Wednesday evening on June 21st, up through lunch on Thursday the 22nd, I'm free to hang out with folks in Seattle. seedmoon has dibs.

A while ago, I had this notion that I'd arrange an open-jaw itinerary and fly from the conference to Boston instead of directly home to Jersey, since I owe my many Bostonian friends a visit. Looks like it'll have to be in August, instead. The week before Solstice, I'm at festival. The week of/after Solstice, I'm in Seattle. On the 4th of July weekend, I'm in Forestport for the annual family reunion. If I spent a week in Boston in the middle, there wouldn't be a tutoring practice to come home to. The practice is going great guns right now, but if I'm away for four straight weeks, my students will get used to having that extra hour back in their schedules, and their parents will get used to having a little more money in their wallets. So, August.

Boston folks, what weekends in August are better and worse for my odds of catching up with you?

And Jersey locals--is anybody going to be around between mid-June and the 4th of July for intermittent catsitting/housesitting? (Karmic investments faithfully repaid.)

I'm looking forward to meeting you face2face when you are out here in Seattle. I am counting the pennies at the moment regarding whether or not I can enroll in the conference. It's still possible.

Also, I'm celebrating Litha a little late at the Unitarian Church on Sunday the 25th. If you are available I'd love to have you come and perhaps participate. I do a pretty free-wheeling ritual. LMK.

My flight home leaves on Sunday, not long after the conference ends, so I think I'll have to miss Litha. But thanks for the invitation.

KJ was talking about offering discount conference registrations for people who just want to attend the panels (not the meals or pitch sessions). I think some of those slots are still left.
