No GaFilk for me this year...

[tollermom]

It occurs to me that I never posted about this here...

I've decided to forego GaFilk this year. I really wanted to go, but I would be leaving directly from Atlanta to go spend a week in San Francisco at MacWorld, so the dogs would be with a sitter for 10 days, which is expensive, stressful for the dogs (especially my old guy, Chase) and stressful for me. Plus, I'd either end up hauling a heck of a lot of luggage, or having to do laundry somewhere along the way, and I don't relish the logistics of either thing. All of that combined with either going instrumentless to GaFilk or having to entrust instruments to the airlines for way too much time (Indy to Atlanta, Atlanta to San Francisco, San Francisco to Indy by way of either Denver or Chicago) just adds up to my deciding that it would wind up being more stress and less fun than it should be.

So... no GaFilk for me this year.

Sorry we'll miss you, but with that schedule I don't really blame you.

Yeah... the more I looked at it, the more it looked like a logistical nightmare. While I love going to MacWorld, that's a busy (and tiring) week already (granted, I could party less and sleep more, but what fun would that be??), and adding a whole trip onto the beginning of that was just going to wind up making me cranky, which ultimately wouldn't be any fun for me or the people around me!

I wanted to go too, but between the long drive, car repairs, and a huge expense in my near future, I can't afford to go after all.

I saw your comment about FKO being out for you too... we should talk when it gets closer to time. I should have reliable transportation and I'm hoping to go. I could pick you up in Dayton and we could split the room if that would make it within the realm of affordable for you.

I appreciate the offer. But I would still need to get a passport, which is about $100 that I don't have right now.
