Common Rotation announced their summer tour dates. They're coming back to New York at the end of July ... when I'm going to be at Writercon. Dammit.

So I'm thinking of maybe going to this show, because it looks like I could get a LIRR train from Penn Station:

Thursday, July 22nd
39th Annual Huntington Summer Arts Festival
Chapin Rainbow Stage
In Heckscher Park
Huntington, NY
8:00 PM
Free & All Ages

And then there's this:

Saturday, July 24th
Woodstock, NY
Colony Cafe
10:00pm
All Ages

If I could figure out how to get to Woodstock, I would go, since it's a Saturday.

Anyone else going to any of these?

I'm totally out of touch with fandom, which I feel guilty about. I was going to try to catch up on email and maybe read some fic last night, but I fell asleep instead. Life is just so much more pleasant when you're sleeping eight hours instead of four.

Roommate hunting continues. God, I hate this. I've only met one person so far who I'd be willing to live with, and he ended up not wanting it. (I've been interviewing men as well as women. I don't want to live with a male--I'd just feel uncomfortable--but I also don't want to have to pay next month's rent by myself.) And I can't do anything after work because I'm always running home right away to meet with these strange strangers who only bother to show up about half the time.

Random: here are some photos of my cats after moving into my apartment. My favorite is this one. These came right before the Moonlight Rising photos, so as you can see, I'm working toward scanning those all in.

And, um, also random: I bought a ticket to this. I can't believe I bought this, but I think I'm going to go. I've never been to London before. I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my life, but at least I'm going to have a fun Halloween. Anyone else going?

OH MY GAWD!!!! [bouncing up and down excitedly]

You're coming to London, you're coming to London!!!

[grabs you and does Numfar's EXTREME Dance of Joy]

Man, this just keeps gettin' better and better all the time!

Honey, we're frigging insane.

[lonners.livejournal.com]

Yes you are, and I am so jealous. I will be celebrating Paul's birthday and still in school during the fun times. Poor me! But at least I can see you guys in Oakland.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm sorry that I won't see you in London.

[rockgoddes.livejournal.com]

I'm insaner than you - I've already been there once this year to see one of these guys!

[shakes head sadly and walks away]

I take it you're going to be there? Awesome.

I can't believe I'm going to London...

I'm glad I'll see you at another con this year. (We're still rooming together at Dragoncon too, right?) I still feel bad that I'm going to miss Toronto Trek, but since I'm roommate hunting now it's probably better than I'm not worrying about a con also.

We are a go for D*C (did you get your flights yet? I'm hoping to this week...) and now I get to see you in London too. I swear, this year gets better all the time...

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Yay!

No flights yet but we're working on it.

Which days are you arriving/leaving? I think Jane and I are going to fly in Thursday night after work and then leave Monday evening. Does that sound right?

[rockgoddes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds good...I have to leave Monday morning, though, as rockgod jr starts Grade One the next day and I need to be home with him Labour Day for as much of the day as possible so we can get ready for the next day. So the flights I'm looking at get me into Atlanta at like 2:00 or something, and then out at like - gulp - 7:30 am...bleargh!

Just keep me posted on what'ch'all're doin'...(practicing my southern accent now...)
