Anyone planning a trip to Nashville this summer?
Next weekend (for the Supernatural convention) if car repairs allow.
Oh, in other news, I answered a personals ad as an extreme long shot today (dude wasn't actually looking for another guy) and have spent all afternoon and evening writing back and forth and discovering a scary amount of overlap in our hobbies and interests. Even if it turns out he's not curious enough to go through with any experimenting, sounds like I've made a new friend to hang out with.

Awesome! Except, I'll actually be in Chattanooga & Birmingham this weekend for a trip with my choir. Maybe I should rephrase: Anyone going to be in Nashville after July 4th this summer?
I hope the convention is fabulous, though, and I'm sad I won't be here for it. It would make me very happy to think of legions of SPN fans walking the streets of my city.
That's kinda awesome, Matt!
And yay, Kate for Buffistas tour! In a normal summer I'd be at least considering eastern Tennessee, but this one is all booked up. I have a bunch of Nashville friends, though, so it's not too unlikely a prospect one of these days.
Oh, and smonster, I'm leaving Wednesday, but my mail will be forwarded if you send to the PO box, and there's a housesitter if you send to the house. So it'll be fine either way, but do tell me what postage costs you, because I might not see the package and know to reimburse you!
My guests all came, hung out, ate, chilled on the deck and then left at a reasonable time. I thought we were going to be out there all night, so I'm happy to have seen everybody, and as happy to have some evening left to keep getting stuff done. It's been a good day.
One of these days we'd love to visit you guys, Liese. Your place seems so chill. (Btw, that was not meant to be a bad AC pun.)
It is totally chill. You would love it. We could sit on the deck and listen to tunes while the sun sets over the junipers. I would feed you peach jam and homemade ice cream and talk about life and philosophy and music.
We don't have any AC in our house. Usually there's only a month or two in late summer that I truly miss it. But we keep dithering on getting it installed because really the only thing that makes sense is getting central AC and heat together, and then suddenly it starts to sound really expensive.
I didn't have AC in northern Michigan, but I can't imagine living in NC without it. When I had a thrifty roommate we use to compromise at a temperature that was a fair bit higher than I liked. Now that I live alone I set the thermostat for the mid-70s and revel in the dry, cool air every time I walk in the front door.
I live in an oldish apartment building on the lower floor. In between my upstairs neighbor's AC and the shade from the surrounding trees my power bill is not that bad, considering my preferred temps.
Liese, do you have a preference for PO Box vs. house? And did you send me either address? Cannot find. Please resend to profile addy.
I yearn for the dry heat of Tucson. I was pretty comfortable at 105F and <5% humidity.
