is this weekend for the F2F the weekend that both Fay and the Pete & Jilli can go? It seems to be yes from context above, so I'm doublechecking.
Basically: no. It's spectacularly Not A Good Time for me, coming in term time and right before the Big School Production for which I should be busy preparing my class. And since I'm on the other side of the planet, any trip to the US really can't be less than a week off work. Which will be unpaid leave, on top of the whole travel-from-Bangkok expense itself.
cocks head and listens to the world's smallest violin playing the tragic song of OhMyPoorFirstWorldWoes. blushes.
In spite of which, I am bracing myself to ask my boss for a week's unpaid leave, and hoping that I can come along. Because Buffista F2Fs do not happen every day, and too many times in my life I've NOT done a thing because it felt like a dereliction of duty - and later looked back and asked what the bloody hell I was THINKING, as the damage/inconvenience that doing said thing would have caused was manageable, really. I would really like to attend. Fingers crossed!
I went to a Dr Horrible Sing a long blog thing in madison tonight.... i miss you guys.
We really need a Dr. Horrible Sing a Long up here. I should talk to my comic book dude. He's a huge Dr. Horrible fan.
For DCistas and anyone who's in town, this weekend the National Museum of the American Indian is having a chocolate festival. Free. There will be presentations on chocolate (theobroma - food of the gods!) and tastings. From what I read, it sound like the tastings will involve old-style (as in Aztec/Maya) chocolate rather than Godiva (or even Hershey's). But still, chocolate!
Also, next week is Restaurant Week.
Sure, I'll be in DC **NEXT** week. Dang. Speaking of which, DCistas, I'll be in town next week. There was some talk of Wednesday get together???
I should be free pretty much all day Wednesday.
I'm free for lunch just about any day except Thursday.
Omnis, I had thrown out the idea of you coming to see Les Mis at my theatre.

Sweet! Care to Museum? It's nice to share the experience with folks.

How is Wednesday?

Yup, I replied with Wednesday. Either show (I forget what the other one was)
(I'm sensing a strong Wednesday thread here)
I can be free most evenings ... but I'm having some major dental work on Tuesday. I might not be up for eating, but there's always drinking, right?
